Either by sending a code to SMS or Email, you are able to sign into your account without ever needing to or being able to add a password. Why has this become a thing recently?

Personally I’m frustrated with always having to give a working phone number to accounts.
I have no idea if I’ve been at all successful in poisoning my data but all my accounts use unique generated emails in addition to generated passwords and fake profile info. It’s just habit now.
However all too often the one piece of real data I have to give is my phone number, and that would be really useful to cross-link all my accounts for data brokers building a dossier on me.
I have hundreds of fake emails but can create at most a couple phone numbers
Same situation for me. I’m hoping a forward thinking cell provider can develop something to combat this. I guess dummy phone numbers wouldn’t work, at least not in large cities since they already run out of phone numbers and have to invent new area codes. Maybe provide customers with unlimited extensions?
It can’t be that simple since you’d always be identifiable to anyone who knows the trick
I wonder if there’s a technical limitation to the number of extensions. If a number can have six or seven digit extensions perhaps someone could allocate those randomly, with forwarding to your real number
