The document discusses guidelines for the use of telephone numbers for out-of-band authentication. It states that using the public switched telephone network (PSTN) for out-of-band verification is restricted, and if used the verifier must confirm the number is associated with a specific device. It also notes that verifiers should watch for risk indicators like device swaps before using the PSTN to deliver authentication secrets. Changing a pre-registered number is considered binding a new authenticator and can only be done as described in the guidelines.
