Since when?
Not sure but you can try to make an account if you want but it asks you for a phone number and it pops up a button to send some system request to the phone so it's not even a regular sms message it like sends it through some kind of system api
That sounds like a 2 step auth for logins they've been doing for a while. I might have made a new burner email last year and it asked for absolutely no real information.
