Everytime I log in on a new device or browser I get the SMS text message with the 2nd step digits. It's pretty annoying. I already have the Google Authenticator to calculate my digits and it works great.
How to disable SMS?

As a side note. Mine is listed as a "Backup phone number". I might suggest you turn 2-factor authentication completely off and set it up again from scratch. May fix the issue and allow you to keep a "Backup Phone" in place. Nov 15, 2012 at 22:37

Removing phone number disables 2-step. Having a backup number as the only number lets me keep 2-step?– yusfNov 24, 2012 at 22:11

I have removed my number from all pages, but it still doing 2-step by my number... Any thoughts?– T.ToduaSep 5, 2019 at 19:13
You have to remove your primary phone number, which will disable 2-step authentication. Then, using the authenticator app from your phone, re-set up the 2-step authentication without setting a primary phone number. You can then add your phone number as a backup if you wish.
