In case you had not noticed 2FA via text to your smartphone has become a 
security standard, "forcing" you to reveal your cell number to quite a 
few vendors.

In my case,

Banks
Brokerage firms
Microsoft
Apple
Civil Air Patrol eServices
My insurance providers
IRS
Indiana Dept. of Revenue
Social Security Admin.
Medicare
Google
Credit Bureaus

Did all these actors "murder" privacy?
