Cause

To select SMS as the OTP method the configuration must support SMS.  If the SMS and email configurations are not done, SMS is not an option. 

Resolution

To support SMS OTP you must complete the underlying configuration.

- Email must be configured under Log > Settings > Event Logging and Alerts.

- An SMS template must be configured under Services > SMS Templates

 

With email and the SMS Template configured SMS becomes a valid option under the OTP configuration.
