login-id + password
Random websites simply do not get my phone number (and if they persist, they often receive 123-456-7890 which quiets them down). I do not use gmail (and random websites would not get it if I did). I also do not use fb/linkedin, but even if I did, random websites also would not get that information either. Do have a github account, but again, random websites will not receive that information either.
- horizontech-dev 7y agoGot it. Thanks. Are security and privacy the reason for the aversion to phone number and social methods?
- ColinWright 7y agoFirstly, I usually don't have the methods being asked for. I don't use Linked-In, I barely use FB and certainly can't remember my password. And seriously, would you go around giving your phone number, email, physical address, etc., to everyone? The opportunities for social engineering abound. And just because the people I give it to may be trusted today, there's always (a) buyouts, (b) security breaches, (c) going rogue. Why are you asking these questions? Are you trying to learn about security? Are you surprised at the responses? Would you, without reservation, give random people your email, phone number, login-id for other services, etc? If so, why do you not have concerns?
