That’s extra work, throwaway services are often blocked
Never had any issues whatsoever, it is less work to me than logging into my mail account and confirming my account, but I also like to have a separate account for every service and never use the “login with facebook/whatever else” option.
it also defeats the purpose of having a backup contact in case of loss passwords etc.
That’s true, but if you actually want to be able to recover your password, there isn’t a way around providing your email.
That’s why I’m saying it would be nice if web services provided alternatives.
I was once around a web site that was moving from open to an account system. I suggested to the owner to offer Discord verification in addition to email, and they actually did, within like a couple hours. It’s not impossible.
