title: Amazon Cognito - Require phone verification - but not MFA. Is is possible?
body: <p>We want the phone number to be verified before the user signs up, but we don't require MFA - meaning the user should be able to sign in with just email address and password.
  Cognito requires MFA to be enabled for phone verification. There is no way out of it. Is my understanding correct?
