This makes me think of ICQ .. whatever happened to that?

  Seems it got sold into Russia where it’s still being used. https://icq.com/mobile/en#ios https://icq.com/mobile/en#ios

    With caveats. While my UID and password still work, I am unable to change my (horrendously insecure, attackable) password without first providing a phone number. Given that ICQ's ownership and cooperation with governments both raise questions, I don't think I'm going to be offering up any further information just to preserve a piece of my internet history.

      there are as many throwaway phone number sites now as the throwaway email ones..

        That enables whoever gets the number next to access my account. I'm not fond of leaving irrevocable details that aren't mine on an account that is.

          you can't detach the number after changing the password?
