As mentioned, email is used for password changes; also, allowing it for 2FA
is a bad idea.

As SMS has several weaknesses, I prefer SMS was not allowed at all.
Nevertheless, if SMS is allowed, I don't see the point in restricting it to
the ARIN service region. Furthermore, it could be more important for those
outside the ARIN service region in case of technology restrictions or
embargos on the more secure FIDO or TOTP technologies.

10 is a reasonable limit.
