UserAuthenticationMethod.ReadWrite
Allows the app to read and write the signed-in user's authentication methods, including phone numbers and Authenticator app settings. This does not allow the app to see secret information like the signed-in user's passwords, or to sign-in or otherwise use the signed-in user's authentication methods.
