    Users are getting dumber by the day!! Half the comments in privacy imply users don’t know what they are talking about and need to see a therapist

      Really though people just don’t understand the point of 2FA. There is 0 other way to verify identity. Just use a burner number if you’re so paranoid sheesh lol

        No, based on the silliness i see in privacy. The /s is useful and to deny its usefulness is ignoring the reality of human 2d communication.
