      I trust that the Chrome engineering team has more data on this than I do but I can't help but feel there is a breakdown in the user agent ecosystem when I'm blindsided by features with non-trivial externalities

      The risk is that every time every time you add incentives to use SMS auth, you increase the friction of SMS auth deprecation

      There is a marginal reduction of risk on a short timescale, but there is a marginal change in lifetime of risk on a long timescale. Whether that change is a net positive introduction of risk is something I don't have the data to answer but it's something that warrants discussion

      Point taken on the intent to experiment, but in my experience this means "we are going ahead with implementing this and we are just working out the finer points"

      I *do* expect this to end up in production, thanks to the diligence of the team, but we did no go this route lightly. We are the first to worry about telco/opco identity provision.

      Regardless, identity in markets we care deeply about -- India, specifically, but others with many first-internet-users as well -- has swung *hard* to SMS OTP over the past 3-5 years. Many (most?) users in these markets don't have an email addr they know or care about.

      The consequence is asymmetric: the web can continue to withhold this capability (even in a form that can be an on-ramp to something better, as I believe this design is) or it can try to get to a competitive place that lows teams to bet on the web for the long haul.

      Not having this is a frequently cited reason that both sign-up and transaction conversion rates suffer on the web vs. native. Given what I'm seeing about web/native usage, the counterfactual has to include "...and that's how the web died on mobile..."

      So we're weighing up the risks here and saying "an imperfect web is still worth saving". I have tons of time for the dissenting view, but it was market reality that swung us -- maybe just not *your* market.

          And if we get the web to a place where it's handling *most* client-side computing on mobile moves to the web, we'll have the ability to move folks to a better place. Holding out for the perfect hasn't worked this far, so at one level it's at *least* worth trying the alternative.
