It could be that your account was hacked and the hacker has enabled 2FA on your account using their phone number.

Hi, op here. They're asking me for any phone number, not for one tied to the account (there is none). I've confirmed this by comparing with the message a friend sees with two factor authentication turned on.

Some people are posting here saying they got in using a stranger's number so I still don't understand how providing a number proves who I am.
