  Sorry, there is no way I am ever sharing my mobile phone number online. Better someone hacks into my blog than hacks into my phone.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m sorry to hear that. We provide this option as additional security for our bloggers, so we can verify your identity when logging in.

  Thanks for getting back to me, Jackie.
  I appreciate WP’s efforts to improve security, but honestly, I am sick of online providers wanting my phone number.
  Surely there must be some other way?

  As jackiedana said, it’s an option not a must.

  It’s an optional additional security step. We recommend it to our users but are not requiring it.
