Like many companies they recently redesigned the site for the hell of it. 
Previously you could enter the policy number and pay the bill without 
logging in. After the redesign you had to create an account based on your 
phone number. I've had State Farm since New Hampshire revoked GEICO's 
license in the '80s. If anyone ever asked me for a telephone number in the 
ensuing years I certainly don't remember it. 

I called my agent. She verified I never had a phone number on record, 
added it, and sent me a registration link. That wasn't my primary reason 
for calling. State Farm had sent out a flurry of snail mail saying they 
were revampng their billing system. Previously you got a renewal notice 
well in advance of the renewal date. Under the new system the notices are 
sent much later. I knew my policy was up for renewal and had not received 
the bill yet and was worried. 

Cyber security and all that but online sites certainly are a joy to use 
these days.
