Does anyone know how to disable SMS 2 Factor Authentication?

I have google authenticator enabled on my account, but T-mobile still allows SMS and secret questions as 2FA methods as well.  This is not secure, especially after this week's data theft.  What's the point of enabling google authenticator if it can be bypassed by selecting the DEFAULT of SMS 2FA?

    Any updates? I assumed that I just didn’t see the correct option before finding this thread 😣

    I seriously cannot believe that they have ignored this problem.

     I am seriously considering leaving T-Mobile just because of this security flaw. I just can't believe they haven't addressed it yet when this brought up two years ago!

    T-Mobile doesn’t do security, they do security theater.

     

    They are not serious about real security.
