 Hi Joe,
 I'll clarify the auto-login: After sign up it logged me in with the

 different account login, to log in to this new account? Wouldn't that be a
 security hole?

Cookies are used to ID web browser, not to provide access to email
accounts. Thus when you log into your webmail account with an ID'ed
browser, they don't know who created, but they know where, when and get
the machine used to create. Subsequent uses of this same machine
increase the confidence of who is the user behind and what are her
interests, even if you IP address changes through tor, vpn, physical
movement..

Dunno.  Haven't created a gmail email acct in yrs.
Security hole?  Not sure - probably only thing you'd have access to is 
acct just created??


Maybe I misunderstood.  I thought you also had access to your other 
features, once you created the gmail acct.
And you already had a main google acct (don't know what they call it) 
 that perhaps was why it let you create the email acct w/o a phone #?


If you had another google acct  still had cookies from previous 
session, they would've recognized you that way.

[tor-talk] Gmail account without phone number

2013-11-19 Thread Yo Mamma
Hi,
I have been reading on this mailing list that it is not possible to create
a Gmail account without a phone number.
I have just created such an account (this one).
I was curious if this is a change on Gmail's part or if the conditions of
my sign up were not the same as those having problems.
I created this account without using Tor, so perhaps that is the critical
difference.

Thanks!

 I believe anyone who runs a relay (exit or otherwise) has trouble
 signing up from the same IP without a phone number.

Please share w/ the rest of the kids.  How'd you do it?  Personally, if 
it's ANY sort of anonymity / privacy I'm concerned about, Gmail's the 
last one I'd want.  Others will want to know.


Was it thru Tor, or regular browser / ISP?
Which country are you in (don't say, if in one where someone ID'g you 
could be dangerous).
Any other (GENERAL) pertinent how to's - that won't compromise your 
anonymity, if any.
