Explain to me again why it isn't crazy to type your username and password into the login form of some random webpage you've never heard of?

  you should really use a test account when experimenting with random matrix clients. meanwhile we’re looking at adding OAuth 2 to Matrix by default so your server is the one that auths you, rather than a random client: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2964#issuecomment-760769031 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2964#issuecomm...

    This site is requiring an email address to register a matrix.org account. Odd. Then I'm guessing it has a captcha. I'm not sure because it fails to load with Privacy Badger enabled. My attention just wandered away. Hopefully they can address some basic privacy concerns and get another at-bat. Edit: Seems that matrix.org is now requiring an email address.

      yup, we mandate email on matrix.org atm as an anti spam measure

      CAPTCHA is enforced by server itself, so client is just following that.
