RE: A Wake Up Call for How Dependent I am on my UK Phone Number.... And a (sort of) solution!

It is crazy actually how dependent we can be on that. Here in the Netherlands, my phone number is tied to pretty much everything - as we have a system (that uses 2FA) that brings us access to.. well, everything. Taxes, university, pension, healthcare. Extremely convenient (ever since I moved here, I feel SO spoiled compared to everyone else from other countries, life's too easy), but if you lose your card and it happens during a holiday or so, you're unable to fix things for a while.

Yeah losing my SIM would be a pain, that's maybe an upside of switching to an app?!?

I feel that is a very dangerous way to be so dependant on a phone (number) for everything in life. Really really bad for where we are heading in the world right now.
