Really toxic security anti-pattern.

I’m locked out of my 20 year old wikipedia account because they instituted 2fa without asking and my email on file was no longer valid.

Ouch. That's worse than the reddit accounts I lost for a similar reason.

Nearly lost a dozen other accounts when I moved from Canada to US and changed my phone number. Fortunately I had to foresight to pay about $1/mo to transfer my Canadian number to some VoiP service just so I could keep it active for scenarios like this!
