    Using SSO you don’t need deep registration process.

    The same that SMS but with an EMail link could work.

    The Mozilla instance works with that but also allow login with other existing accounts.

      Yeah, but as far as I know, not a single Matrix.org identity provider allows registration with only a phone number.

        I hope that never exists to be exact 😂.

        If you want it to be easy, the EMail message with a link to login is exactly the same but better than linking phone number.

        The Mozilla instance allows that.

          I don’t. I wouldn’t ever use it, of course, but if it allows more people access to encrypted and federated communication, I’d welcome phone number identities. There are several reasons most other mainstream messengers (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal) work that way.

          Many people are too computer illiterate to use anything else but their phones. Many people don’t even get the concept of “registration” anymore. And they don’t care about privacy.

          It’s easier to educate people when you can actually talk/write to them.

            [Matrix] used to allow phone number registration when it was called riot.im i believe. They removed that feature. Anyone know why?
