- AlexandrB 6y agoI hadn't heard that. Any links that explain what happened?
- mdoms 6y agoSorry what are the mandated changes which require phone-based authentication which can't be tied to a Google account? Which authorities? Why did this require the website to be locked down?
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 6y agoBecause you can create a Google account anonymously. The financial law requires KYC - Know Your Customer. So that every illegal transaction can be traced to a real person.
