When I try to add my phone number for Blizzard SMS phone notifications, I get a “Security verification expired, please start over.” error. I try to start over and I get the same message. I even tried logging out and back in, however, I still get the error message.
I used the Add Blizzard Phone Notifications link from here… Battle.net Phone Notifications - Blizzard Support
I originally had an error on the authenticator so I selected the “Enter manually” option. Not sure if this has anything to do with it.
I can provide a pic showing the error.
UPDATE: I just checked and I already have my phone added. If that’s the reason it’s causing an error, then that’s a terrible error message that should be fixed. It’ll help to cut down on support tickets.

this flow (trying to enable sms protect if you already have a phone number on your account) is still broken in 2022 and gives the same misleading error message.
Same, and now they want you to do this to play overwatch 2, but STILL haven’t fixed this??? Wtf Blizzard???

This problem still exists in 2024, and tech support still does not know how to deal with it.
