Google Today i registered a youtube account. The thing is, i used a live account to register it. Why is this different, you may ask? Well, that is simple: account verification. I had to give google my phone number, and they had to send me a text message to verify that I am who I say I am. There is no "don't text me" option, and there is no other verification method. So now your probably thinking: "So what, it's one text message." Yeah, well I'm 5 4 texts away from an overage charge. Guess what? You know how google uses universal accounts, just like wikia? Yeah, my new account has one. Your probably thinking, "so what, you have another online account." Yeah, that's what I thought, too. Only thing is, i cannot access the Email account they set up using my password. I also cannot work with it through the live account it was registered through. Bottom line: Their new account creation system blows, they rely on everyone having a phone and being able to get their text message, and they have moved from easy of use to difficulty of use. Don't trust google. &mdash; Scythe   19:46, 11 Nov 2010 (UTC)
