Hi, I am trying to set up the 2-step verification for extra security and since I usually don't use an authenticator app I'd prefer to just receive a code through text. Whenever I reach the "Where should we send your one-time code?" step and is given 2 options that is to use the number that is currently linked to my account or to add a new number, I have an issue with using the number that is currently linked to my account. When I clicked next after selecting my number it gives me a message where it says "The mobile number you entered is already registered." and does not allow me to proceed with the 2-step verification process. Should also clarify that the 2-step verification process is definitely not enabled for my account yet as I can login every time without the need of an external verification. Can someone please help me with this?
