phone numbers and email are virtually mandatory nowadays for banking, taxes, and many other things, including dealing with government bureaucracy... so why the hell is not made mandatory by law to be able to go to an email/sim phone service provider's office with your ID/passport/drivers license and be able to recover your account/number?? (allowing users to choose to provide that identification&recovery info when creating their email obviously)
