On both links, there is a "Continue" button. Clicking it brings me to the page from the second link. Oh- when you enter a telephone number, you can check "call me" or "text me", so we entered our land line. Which just brought up a page that says basically there are too many people requesting codes at this time. After a couple of times, we got a message that we requested too many codes in a short period of time and to please try again in a couple of days.
All the reasons on the CNN link for Facebook doing this don't even apply to me- I don't access FB from my phone, nor do I have a smart phone (or want one), so there's no shopping, etc from it, either.
