SPN mandatory forced phone number #1232

Closed Abyssgrowth closed 1 year ago

Abyssgrowth commented 1 year ago

What would you like to add or change?: I don't want to provide my phone number to create an SPN account, why isn't my email good enough...?

Why do you and others need this?: For anonimity and privacy it's best to not provide any information that can leak a users real identity, such as a phone number.

there is no phone number required only the country code, that is for the US +1 and Austria +43 .... that is far from a phone number

also no email is required, you can add an email for account recovery.
