Is it a security concern to have unverified phone numbers in Planning Center?

Answer
Phone numbers can be OTP-verified when used as Church Center login credentials; the real gap is guest/no-login signups and secondary registrants. Duplicate detection uses name not phone, and no auth is granted via phone number alone — this is a data quality concern, not a security one.
