Same here. In the olden days, when you had to dial phones instead of
pressing a speed dial button, I probably had 20 numbers in my head. Now I
may have one or two — and usually not my own.

A few years back we were developing a tablet app and I got a gmail account
for it. Last week I got email saying it hadn't been used in two years and
they were going to prune it. I managed to get through the password but
then it asked for a telephone number, showing the last two digits. It
might have been the number of a flip phone that died along with 3G. The
google 'how to recover an account' page basically said 'You're screwed.'

Yeah, I lost the email I use in this newsgroup the same way. I had no idea
what phone I was using at the time I signed up for the account.
