> On the official Apple reset form, the "phone number" is one of the id options the hackers can use to MFA bomb the target

Funny thing is you cannot set a passphrase or equivalent recovery code unless you have an apple device. So users who have an apple account for development purposes (I hate apple device UX and wont ever use anything apple again other than to approve releases and manage certificates) and have no apple products are cursed to use ones phone number.

I used to be hardcore about stuff like this, but as I grew older I guess I gave up some of my morality and bought things like $150 iphone # and moved on with life if it was making me $$$.
