And another thing! It used to be you didn't need a telly-phone number to sign up for a website! Email was all we needed. And it worked!

      Don’t need an email for this website. If I forget the password to this account, then oh well

    I think 2 factor authentication is just another way to wrench privacy from users. If it’s an option, fine, but I should have the ability to forget my password and be locked out of my account forever if I want to.

      That’s exactly how I’ve been using Hexbear since its conception. This account is a couple months old and when there’s an update I’ll be locked out forever, just as I’ve done 5-6 times before.

        All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.

      in a lot of cases it is but there is serious use for 2FA and you can tell when it is because they will insist on using token generators/yubi keys that are much more secure and don’t impact your privacy.

    Love Signal being the go-to private chat and yet requiring a phone number (which, at least in Poland, is tied to your government identity)

        Lack of anonymity can be utilized to break the privacy

          I tried something like that once and the website was too smart and it said “haha that number won’t work here”.
