   I’m gonna need everyone in security to internalize this.

   Hell, my local country fair (y’know, the place where you can submit your veggies to go on display and get judged and get ribbons and shit) is requiring online registration.

   Guess how many people that’s locking out? How many of the people whose submissions are what keep the exhibitions going don’t have emails or cell phones?

   If your solution doesn’t work for my friend who can only be reached via landline phone or mail, it doesn’t work.

     @lanodan @TindrasGrove as I understand, it's quite a common thing for unhoused people to go through this cycle:
     
     * get shitty prepaid phone
     * sign up for accounts with SMS 2FA
     * be required to use those accounts to access benefits
     * get caught in an encampment sweep, and all their shit including their phone gets thrown away
     * oops, they can't access their 2FA any more
     * ...get shitty prepaid phone and create all new accounts

     @TindrasGrove Kind of thing which also often makes me wonder what happens if someone looses their phone and they got all their sms/2fa stuff in it.
     
     Wouldn't even be surprised that it would be a struggle to buy a new sim card, and well last time I bought a cellphone they wanted the number for the delivery (usually to ping beforehand or in case bell/intercom doesn't works).
