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.

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

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

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

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