Description
Expected behavior
When logging in to a WordPress.com account and tapping "Text me a code instead", I expected a code to be sent.
Actual behavior
A brief message says the SMS code has been requested, however it is never sent.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
To reproduce:
- Begin to login to a WordPress.com account.
- Enter email address and proceed to enter password.
- At the point when you'd normally enter your auth code, tap "Text me a code instead".
- Note the "requesting a verification code via SMS"
- Wait a while and notice the SMS never arrives.
If you follow the same steps from WordPress.com in a web browser, the SMS is sent and arrives.
Tested on Samsung Galaxy S21, Android 11, WPAndroid 17.7-rc-2

Compare the internal-account behavior with the WordPress.com browser behavior, then verify that users are warned that SMS will not be sent for the affected account type.
