Facebook removes two-factor authentication mobile numbers from search

Mobile phone numbers used for Facebook's 'Login Approvals' account security feature are no longer searchable through the website

The search restriction for "Login Approvals" phone numbers is temporary and the company is working on implementing a system that will allow users to decide if they want to make them searchable. However, the company did not clarify whether the upcoming system will allow users to prevent other people from finding them based on any of the phone numbers they added to their profiles.
