I absolutely hate SMS verification. Email providers want sms verification, my corporate Microsoft account wants SMS verification to login on PCs and then it also wants Microsoft Authenticator verification ! What it really wants is me to “stay logged in” all the damn time. On my Mac, outlook needs to relogin to Gmail in safari every damn time I clear safaris cache. What the god damn well hell. What if I changed my phone number? I’d lose access to almost everything… wait is that the point ? CIA ? NSA ? KYC ? Cmon ! The internet used to be fun, but now it’s just a hassle
