Ability to receive 2FA verification codes via text message on verified phone number

As a Roblox developer, it is currently not possible to have Roblox send you verification codes through the verified phone number associated with your Roblox account.

Me, as a developer, I frequently utilize the “Sign out of all other sessions” feature on the account details page for security reasons. However, when doing this, I would need to manually log back into each device I have Roblox on, which includes having to enter the 2FA verification code prompted when signing in. This has resulted in my email inbox filling up with automated emails from Roblox:

Now, I know what you might be thinking - “just delete the emails”. That’s not the point. For the sake of convenience, I think being able to receive the code directly from text messages would be easier as I can see it from the notifications on my phone. It should be an option to either receive it on email (if you personally like having it through there, but I do not) and from text. I use an iPhone X, so when looking at my device, it will automatically unlock and show the code directly from the front of my phone, allowing me to enter the code easily.

I guess a mobile feature request as well is being able to have the code autofill prompted (like this on iOS):

It shows “From Messages” right when the 2FA page on the Roblox app shows up. Unsure how it is on Android, but nevertheless, being able to do this would make logging in easy and I don’t need to switch apps to get a simple 6-digit code.

If this issue is addressed, it would improve my experience on Roblox because logging back in would be a breeze for both developers and players, for numerous reasons. It would also in general just be a very practical feature.
