    Quoted from robin:

    The easiest authentication system I can think of, which is easy for me to implement and also easy to use/understand for most Pinsiders would probably be a simple SMS containing a short verification code, sent to a registered phone number.
    Downsides:
    - costs, although it looks like Twillio would only set me back $7.50 / 1000 sms codes
    - folks would need to add their phone # to their pinside account

    Some people (yours truly) still don't have cell phones, so SMS messages can be a pain. I do have a google voice number for this specific purpose, but some sites won't send text messages to those.

    Quoted from hAbO:

    Holy cow! A new smartphone will change your life then.

    Not in a good way. I have a land line. Other than my mother calling once a month and the occasional call to the doctor or dentist to set up an appointment, I haven't talked on a phone in years. The only time I wish I had one is when I'm driving and have car trouble. I bought a new car a few years back, 250 miles from home, and it got a flat on the interstate 5 miles from the dealership. That was a helpless feeling.

    Pretty much everyplace I go has free wi-fi and I always have wi-fi devices with me, so I can get online and do what I need to do.
