   We live in a dystopia when I have to go in the other room and turn on my burner phone to log into a website.

     My burner phone is an iPhone (so I can make a good website for Donald Trump (I would never use an iPhone))

     @alex I know removes the whole secure second device aspect, but if I'm forced to use 2FA, I just use a desktop program authenticator and just copy paste. The phone verification is so annoying.

     @coin OTP is way better, at least I can control that. The real aim with forced SMS verification is not to protect your account, it’s to control you.

     @0a970d6ce29aabbdfda6aec40e53ea034324caf7d5775f7dc1b9983fc4ec5b1b @alex You can get burner SIMs easy, at least in my country. No identification required either.

     I've always been under the impression it's so you can't easily ban evade, since it ties your identity to a number. On Twitter, for example, if you get banned, any attempt to use the same phone number will get new accounts auto banned.

     My last phone number was like that. Something needs to be done about it. Phone numbers are ass.

     @0a970d6ce29aabbdfda6aec40e53ea034324caf7d5775f7dc1b9983fc4ec5b1b @errante You should just have a private key and your phone is connected to multiple relays of your choice.

     @errante I have the phone number of some woman whose child is constantly skipping school and the district notifies me about it every time, and I can’t opt out.
