Can you delete the phone number after verification + switch to TOPT (with the private key written down next to your password, probably in a password manager) for 2FA?

I think that's considered "more secure" in most account security flowcharts.

Yeah I try to switch everything to TOTP these days, try to remove the SMS option on whatever I can. Google offers about a dozen ways to verify your account now.
