Why:
When completing some security checks, we were having multiple team members flagged up as 'insecure' despite the fact that they had many different secure methods enabled in their settings. I was not able to find anywhere what might be causing the insecure flag to be applied, because it isn't explicitly called out in the docs anywhere. It's mentioned in passing here:

This PR adds a specific reference to SMS being an insecure method.
What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):
It just adds an explicit mention that SMS is considered an insecure method.
