What the title says. Before you had to choose either SMS / call via phone or a very clunky code grid.

This is a great feature. I just enabled it, and it works just fine. However, I was a bit confused when I didn't see any backup codes generated until I realized that the SMS/Call method is, in this case, the backup method. So, while it is more convenient to use an MFA app, I'm not sure about the security if the SMS method is still an option.

You can generate a code grid and remove SMS altogether.

If I had the power to, I would've pinned this comment as it's helpful to those still using sms for backups๐Ÿ‘
