I think it should be fairly obvious to most here, but it bears repeating that any service which requires a phone number for 2FA is to be avoided like the plague

- kanox 6y agoAs far as I can tell most new apps require a phone merely for registration. It's not even close to optional. Twitter pretends it doesn't but it locks you out in ~5 minutes if you don't verify your phone number.
- zimpenfish 6y agoBut on the plus side, if you then create another account and use the same phone number, I assume that phone number is now linked to the new account (because they tell you that it's owned by another user and it'll be claimed) and not the one you actually want to use.
- ffpip 6y agoI hate the fact that Google requires a phone number to set up 2FA. Only then does it show the Hardware/App options. A phone number, or an Android phone logged into the account
- three_seagrass 6y agoWhich companies allow 2FA without a phone number?
