Pin with Twilio ONLY, Is that possible?

Hi, I’m trying to better understand how Twilio works. From what I’ve read here, it seems that even after connecting Twilio, users still need to log in with their email and not just via SMS.

My goal is for my users to log in using Twilio only, without needing an email.

So my question is:
Once the email is already registered, can the user log in next time using only SMS?
Or after entering their email once, will they still be required to enter both their email and phone number for SMS — essentially creating a kind of “two-step verification” (which I don’t fully understand the purpose of)?

I’m still a bit confused.

If the user is asked to log in, what exactly do they see?
Do they have to choose between email and SMS?

Or is the default option email — meaning the user enters their email and then receives an SMS?
That seems a bit strange.

And if that’s not the case, let’s say I pre-enter the user’s email in the system — would SMS alone be enough without email?

I don’t know for sure what the screen looks like, but if I’m understanding the documentation correctly, the user still enters their email address, and if there is a phone number in their user profile row, then it will send an SMS with the pin instead of sending an email. Email is still vital to the way Glide works. Users cannot create an account on phone number alone.
