Treat 2FA authenticator logins the same as mobile verifications
With the new addition of verified users only in chat, you can have an account which is 2FA enabled but still requires a cell phone SMS verification.
This seems non-sensical as 2FA via an authenticator is app technically more secure than SMS verification, however it is not treated as equivalent.
2FA via an authenticator app should count as an account as verified the same as SMS.

I agree that authenticator-app 2FA should be considered a strong verification method alongside SMS. For mobile balance guidance, you can also check the Movilnet balance inquiry code guide https://saldo-movilnet.com/codigo-para-consultar-saldo-movilnet/.

You're absolutely right—2FA via an authenticator app should be treated as equally, if not more, secure than SMS-based verification. Requiring SMS verification even after enabling app-based 2FA creates unnecessary friction for users who have already taken stronger security measures. Just as users look for specific features like halal certification when searching for Subway locations—using tools like this halal Subway list (https://subwaymenu.co.uk/subway-halal/) as a reference—security systems should recognize the strength of authenticator-based 2FA and not force redundant verification steps.
