Interesting, thanks for letting me know. I don't have an account. I understand _why_ they require you to verify a phone number though, for the exact reason this article explains.
- jandrese 8y agoThe phone number isn't for your protection (it's actually really terrible for 2FA), it's for Facebook's protection.
