Similar happened to me the other day with Google. Tried to log in for the first time in a few years. Browser has correct login name and password. Upon login, they demand a phone number to text a code to. Aren't getting it.

That was rather disturbing, and then to pour some salt on the wound, they sent an email to my inbox with the text, "someone has tried to login with your password!" Thanks. :-/

I’m really tired of “your valid credentials aren’t good enough, comrade. Please come with us to print your extra papers!”

Yeah I hate that Google (and others) all demand a mobile number so they can a) send you text spam and b) use it as a unique customer identifier to match you with their advertising and business partners.
