“All the OTPs get sent to that number. If you lose that number, you can still have OTPs sent to that, but you can’t go and reclaim that number.”

How about local institutions move to passkey support. It's much more secure and superior. They missed the bus to move to TOTP but can fix that now and bypass it completely.
