30553: SMS is forced for two-factor authentication
Messaging
Phone Numbers
This error applies to both Toll-Free Verification and A2P 10DLC registration.
Programs that use multi-factor confirmations or two-factor authentication (2FA) codes must offer at least one alternative delivery channel besides SMS, such as email, voice fallback, or push notification. SMS cannot be a forced requirement for security verification.
- A login or signup security page blocks the user from completing setup unless they provide an SMS-enabled phone number.
- The workflow states that text-based 2FA is mandatory with no other option.
- Update the authentication workflow to offer at least one alternative delivery method, such as an email confirmation link, alongside the SMS option.
- Resubmit once an alternative channel is available.
