Why Medium asks for a phone number

Medium asks for a number at sign-up to cut down on fake accounts, and the number can later feed friend suggestions and ad targeting. A one-time number never makes that link.

Good to know

A number is for one verification. If Medium sends a new code to it later, you will not see it.
If you will use the account for a long time, add your own contact details in the Medium settings after setup.
Following the Medium rules is up to you; the number only keeps your own number private.
