Doesn’t having a recovery phone make you vulnerable to a port out scam, basically invalidating any 2FA?

If you have Verizon, they have a number lock feature (https://www.verizon.com/support/port-out-faqs/#) that is designed to protect against this very thing. I have it enabled and feel much better about using SMS 2FA/recovery.

This has been bypassed by employees when money is involved.
