[edit]email without phone OTP
[edit]Those who used email during 2006 know that in those days, mobile OTP and phone number verification were not required in Yahoo Mail and Gmail.
Nowadays, you can't open any new email account without a phone number OTP, and they also have limits like one phone number, one email account, or a few more. Gmail says 'This number has crossed the maximum limit for verification'.
Which emails do not use phone number verification right now? No OTP, and I can open any number of email accounts I want? FloatingIslesLoreKeeper (talk) 09:23, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
- @FloatingIslesLoreKeeper proton.me is one of the few. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 09:52, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
- One option is fastmail, but you pay a monthly fee for that. Card Zero (talk) 12:18, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
- Mailo (webmail service) is reasonable. They offer free accounts, no phone number required, with some restrictions (eg max 5 aliases, and they explicitly forbid creating an account purely to register with third-party services).
- Their paid service is also reasonable (I use it myself) - 100 aliases for €1 per month. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:21, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
