I hate phone requirements. In fact I do not even have a phone number for a few years now and regularly send emails to companies explaining how SMS is all but secure.
However you can just rent virtual phone numbers or even just pay a few cents to receive a verification once.
I know it's annoying, but just playing their game I guess (and showing how little effect these phone limitations actually have)
- nottorp 5y agoI have a phone number. I just don't see why I should give it out to everyone.
- herbst 5y agoThat's my point. Don't. Use throwaway ones whenever it's not critical information and simply avoid the service should they think secure information should be on the mobile network. At least that's what I do. But so far things only got worse than better. Services that use SMS as single only way to reset a password without further verifications are simply not thinking about security enough
