I requested that they turn on 2FA, since they themselves will become an attack target by requesting so much PII That said, my experience with trying to use any opt-out service (automated or otherwise) is filled with a lot of "Oops, server error, try again later" responses at the end of filling out a ton of forms about oneself, so I wonder if Optery has some secret sauce, is persistent in the face of server errors, or just is fire-and-forget and thus follows the "spray and pray" method of account removal If I paid actual money for this, I'd want some observable metric showing that I had 166 public listings in June, followed by 66 in July, or something of the sort.

Yes - Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is in development – this is almost ready and will be released soon. No server errors have been reported like what you’ve experienced at other services. A few people received an error trying to log in without completing the second step in the signup process, but we resolved this immediately and now prevent people from logging in without completing the two-step registration. Regarding your last comment, for our customers we deliver Removals Status Updates indicating the number of removals that have been completed, are pending, or are in process. The Removals Status Updates are configurable in account settings for delivery weekly, monthly (default), or never. The dashboard also has up-to-date status indicators for removals pending, in progress, not found, etc. Additionally, for our paying customers, we send Removals Reports approximately quarterly summarizing visually all the places customers have been removed and/or cannot be found.
