Mail.ru is asking for phone numbers

[sibillalazzerini]

I have several mail.ru accounts which are about 4-5 years old.
They dont have any phone numbers linked.
They used to login fine after filling in the captcha.
All of a sudden I am noticing that they are asking for phone numbers , what should I do?
Is it me or everyone else is facing the same of late ?

Add the number . What's the problem ?

Maybe it's a new security protocol, or your account might have been flagged.

idk about mail ru, but Gmail usually asks to connect a phone number in case of logging in using a new device. if device is the same as you have used previous time, you should not be asked for a phone verification.
you should try to log in using the same device as previous time, maybe mail ru works on the same principle

U can get free numbers for it may be an update so its required that

might just be new security protocol. comply or die.
to bypass it try accessing on different browser. or on your phone.
you might be able to get away with accessing via IMAP on thunderbird software.

With all these sanctions going around I'd reconsider adding any personal data.

IMAP on thunderbird software.

What do these do?

Not just that, i would recommend people take a watch at what @Gogol linked the other day relinking

What do these do?

https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/ its software to access email. imap is the protocol name.
instead of web mail in your browser, you use software.

There are many websites such as sms-activate.org, 5sim.net, smspva.com to buy single-usage phone numbers. Verify by using these numbers then unlink it from Mail.ru.

time to search for another free email host.

I don't think unlink is the way to go. I bought phone verified mail accounts . Now they are asking again.

Did you try the recommendation above? Maybe directly login via Thunderbird can work.
