Your solution for not needing a phone to log in is to use Google Authenticator which is a phone app that would've been on the smashed phone? I recently went through this exact scenario: Old phone broke. Bought a new one, restored back

Are you talking about Microsoft Teams? Because I hate Microsoft but Teams blows Slack out of the water by a country mile in terms of usability, reliability, and resource usage. I can't get a basic voice call working in Slack for long

There is one: Cloudflare isn't profitable. Cloudflare is still in growth mode: They're losing money hand-over-fist. AWS, on the other hand, is a money-printing machine. Personally, I don't trust Cloudflare until they achieve
