Even if I don't want to throw my reddit account away as such, it's hard for me to imagine ever thinking I'd care more about its security than I would about not giving Reddit my phone contact!


Yep. Looking forward to buying /u/maxwellhill off the dark web, so we can read all those private messages, and finally put to rest all the speculation of it being Ghislaine Maxwell's account (which went dark the day she was arrested).


Yeah, this was my first reaction.

<Reddit hacked>

"Huh, I guess I better change my password."

<Recommends TFA>

"Hmm, give reddit my phone number .... no."


No need for phone number, they just give you a TOTP private key you can use in Google Authenticator or something like that.


Reddit's TFA is not phone number based. You use a one time password generator.
