As our regular readers know, Signal is working on a way to register an account without a phone number<\/a>. New hints reveal that this optional alternative registration method for Signal will require a one-time payment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die M\u00f6glichkeit, sich bei Signal ohne Telefonnummer zu registrieren, geh\u00f6rt zu den am h\u00e4ufigsten gew\u00fcnschten Funktionen. Zwar verbirgt Signal Telefonnummern standardm\u00e4\u00dfig und gibt Nutzer*innen die Kontrolle dar\u00fcber, wer sie finden kann. Dennoch w\u00fcnschen sich viele die Option, ein Konto ganz ohne Telefonnummer zu erstellen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we wrote in our article last week<\/a>, the main challenge and one of the reasons Signal does not yet offer registration without a phone number is preventing spam and abuse. In a recently published video<\/a>, Signal CTO Ehren Kret said that Signal needed to find a way to induce a cost for signing up without a phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, it was unclear whether this “cost” would mean a monetary fee or another type of barrier designed to prevent abuse. Now, we have uncovered more details about the feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signal Login, one-time payment, price unknown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New references in Signal’s source code<\/a> reveal that this feature will be called “Signal Login”. This appears to be the internal and likely public name for Signal’s upcoming phone number-free registration option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signal’s source code<\/a> also shows that Signal Login will be offered as a paid option. It will require a one-time payment and is not a subscription. The payment requirement is intended to serve as an additional barrier against spam and abuse. Given that Signal is a non-profit organization, the fees are expected to be reasonable and will help support Signal’s mission<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The code currently contains only example amounts; the exact price is not yet known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verf\u00fcgbarkeit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Registration without a phone number will be optional and will not replace the current signup process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not yet known when Signal Login will be available. Based on the references and hints found in the source code, we expect it to become available in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, as soon as there\u2019s more news, you’ll find it on our website and social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
