BFD mobile numbers are protected
Probably to avoid bot accounts, they added the extra layer of asking phone number and sending OTP

Lots of companies do this practice

Does it matter when we have leaks all over, my data has been leaked at least 10 times with my email or number from reputable companies. In a way once you put your info online expect it to be leaked
