Oh f*. I was just talking about how it's only a matter of years until I need a phone to sign in everywhere, then this.
2Fa is literally the only reason I have to keep a phone. And sites that require a phone numbers for 2fa are rising too, sure I want to link my identity to every single website I login to. Sure let's ignore how insecure SMS is and that I can't actually own a number.
As someone who just uses virtual numbers I am basically locked out of things like Twitter and dozens of random websites who think SMS proofes anything.
And if I want a Twitter account, or 50 of them, I just rent numbers for a few cents. Basically just costing a little money and a additional click. What should that protect?
Why TF do I need a phone and phone number to use the internet? What went wrong there?

- tfigment 5y agoIt seems like many abandoned the google and microsoft authenticator apps and force the phone sms which is annoying.
- pjmlp 5y agoSMS is the easiest way to have 2FA for the common people on the street, you know those that using any kind of gadget is already too much, and make a large majority of human population.
