Sure, but unless I'm the CEO of those places (and in case there was any question, I'm not) I can't do shit about it if I need to use whatever service it is. I can email all I want to, I'm not like a respected security researcher or anything I'm just some dickhead with an account.

    I didn't expect you to do anything about it. Was just emphasizing that 2FA is not a legitimate reason to require a phone number, that's all.

    edit: I think I might have been a bit ambiguous: people who use as in "implement it into their authentication procedures" are the idiots, not the people those idiots are forcing to give up their phone number.

    I agree for sure. Especially after having so many sent to my old phone number lmao. I have one government thing I can't even sign up for because "they don't have a record of me at (current number)" and what am I supposed to do, text my old number "hey bro this used to be my number can you text me the verification code you just received real quick?" It's madness!
