You cannot change your office phone through this interface.
To update your office phone number, contact your location's IT department. When they change it, it will sync with SSPR.
You may need to reconfirm your information.
After a while, and to make sure you still have the appropriate methods registered, your administrators will require you to confirm your authentication methods.
