Friend, you have mental health issues that you need to sort out before worrying about the exploits of 3rd-rate cellphone companies.

If that was the case, the numbers would be set to maintain a steady-state population.

The elephant in the room is downvoted because it's politically incorrect.

Mark my words: Microsoft Store will end up on this list https://www.versionmuseum.com/history-of/discontinued-micros... so disabling it is like living in the future.

It's not about money, it's about power. If you hold a physical item, you have the maximum power over it as possible. If you want to entrust someone else with it, go ahead, but at the end of the day your access to the item will be subject to their whims and those of the greater political establishment / woke clergy / corrupt and powerful.

Thanks a lot for doing this!

Someone just needs to update the 2FA code to use 9 digits instead of 5.

I dunno, but it doesn't really seem like Privacy or Competition is the right angle for this, they're luxuries after all, and it's not really relevant for those political maneuverings. Security is more important. The right actors could hack the entire financial system and more with these kinds of vulnerabilities, with targeted sim swaps. Take for example, the currently unfolding Twitter hack that puts 400m Twitter users' phone numbers up for grabs - including every big fish there is.

Call yourself an anonymous Russian hacker and that might get their attention.

Mobile account authorization is critical for national security because of the rampant requirement to use cellphones as 2FA / password reset for everything else, including GC Key itself. The government needs to step in.

How? The login screen only allows 4 digit pins, and if you get it right then you have to confirm with 2FA.

Login requires 2FA, though. Can that be bypassed?

If you are competitive, ambitious, and meritocratic you're supposed to move to the USA and leave the rest of us alone to be mediocre in peace. Brain drain is the Canadian way.
