See, that's exactly why the whole phone verification is flawed... Travelers, people in area's without cell reception, ... and obviously tracking is part of it too.
Sure, but most people want a surefire way to prove who they are so that hackers can't get into their email, which necessitates some type of second factor. Even if the second factor is something like a security key, an authentication app, or other, there always comes a time when you are locked out. These companies know that the vast majority of problems they troubleshoot are people locked out of their own accounts because they forgot the password.
