There&amp;#x27;s a number of sites where I feel like I should add 2FA for security, but I won&amp;#x27;t do it for privacy reasons.  Logging into Microsoft Office for my job is a pain in the ass because they redirect me to the &amp;quot;Add your phone number&amp;quot; page twice for each app that I use.  I have to click &amp;quot;skip this step&amp;quot; 4 times, since I&amp;#x27;m using Teams and Outlook.  Was the world a better place when every transaction you made in a retail store didn&amp;#x27;t come with a request for tracking?  &amp;quot;Can we get your email?  What&amp;#x27;s a good phone number for you?  Do you have a rewards card?  Do you want one?  Any way we can peg you with a unique id and sell it to a data broker?&amp;quot;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Twitter to be fined $250M for using 2FA numbers for ads</title><url>https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200804/01231345032/twitter-about-to-be-hit-with-250-million-fine-using-your-two-factor-authentication-phone-numbers-emails-marketing.shtml</url></story>
