I at least have avoided the cellphone tie-in for years now using fobs, or password managers for my dual-auth. No cellphone, no cellphone verification!
Can you elaborate on this? I'm damned tired of the "Dual-auth" bullshit demanding a cell #.
I stopped using it a few years ago because out of the blue, they locked my account, and insisted I upload my drivers license to verify my identity.

If your company supports fobs, you can request one of those. It's a little device with a screen where you push a button, and get a random code. If they don't just create a free 1Password account, and setup your 2FA through there. You have to bypass the usual 2FA methods, and get to a link that you paste in a particular field in 1Password. Once you save it, will automatically generate the codes you need.
I am becoming more and more disgusted with LinkedIn. They are constantly pushing DEI agendas, so much so, that I have resorted to flagging them as racist or sexist, which they flat out lie and deny that they are. And the endless self-promotional posts that people make about themselves. I am honored, pleased, delighted about the post I just made about me, me, me. And at least in the field I work, continual posts by PhD salespeople of their partying their faces off at trade show meeting locations. Hopefuly the increasing layoffs in the field will smack some sense into them.
And the cancelling of counter-narrative eminently competent scientists like Malone and others. The soup-of-the-day compliance posts of the Ukranian flag, the I follow Fauci posts, a broadcasting that they are going along to cover up a lack of competence, or, to ensure career advancement. (Yes, I am willing to get behind anything management signals is the right social cause, bending over.)
I ask people for their emails, and that's how I keep in contact.
We don't have to use their gootube, their fakebook, their twatter, or their linkedinLog. Fuck mainstream social media privacy invaders, be free, live your own life.
