Times simular to your exaggeration will come and people will say “But it’s their service! If you want to use it, you have to follow their rules”. Not understanding that they’re slowly handing over control over their lives. Sad to see how many people don’t understand this and disagree with me when I say that I’m infuriated over this.
While that is true, I do not fall into that category. I let KeePassXC generate all my password and most of them are longer than 30 chars. I’m just simply tired of being forced. I believe I should have the say in how I want to secure my account. Not the companies.
I understand that Google already has my phone number. That’s not so much of a problem for me. I am trying to limit the amount of personal information that I hand out to websites & services. I believe that companies shouldn’t need my personal phone number to create, maintain or secure my account. If I need security, I’ll install 2FA TOPT. If not, that’s still my decision and I shouldn’t be forced. Especially in form of having to provide my phone number.

As title says. I haven’t used my Google account for more than 3 months. Prior to
abandoning my Google account, I unlinked my phone number, deleted my recovery
email, and logged out every device. I also never had 2FA TOPT setup. Today I
tried logging in and it won’t let me. See video. Apparently, providing my login
credentials doesn’t prove that the account belongs to me. And no, I won’t give
them my phone number again to login. I hate Google
Twitter users baiting other people into liking their post by lying that there’s a new like animation.

[https://lemmy.world/post/1576052] > I initially only installed “Comodo
Firewall” but for some reason they also installed a “Comodo Dragon Browser”,
which I did not consent to. I always choose the “advanced” installation to
uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall
the browser, they force you to participate in their survey otherwise you won’t
be able to uninstall the software…
I’ve seen a quick video about it on YouTube from a reputable Windows security YouTuber. Can’t remember which, I wrote the softwares name down a long time ago and decided to give it a try today.
