   Ancestry DNA access

   Has anyone else noticed this?  I turned OFF the 2 step verfication in   
   Ancestry and it no longer asks for it when I start.  However, if I then   
   try to access my DNA screen it asking for 2 step verification again.   
      
   But what is puzzling is that it asks if I want to use Text or Email,  I   
   selected text and it asked for my phone number!!!!   This means anyone   
   who wants to hack my account can enter their own telephone number and   
   get the access code.  Surely it should only send the code to the phone   
   number it has on record.  Have I missed something somewhere?
