An email sign up would be best.
Why force a phone number that changes or a Facebook app with identity?

@androidlove Agreed. Inputting identifying information seems counterintuitive to the "right to privacy" notion. If there is functional significance to this information within the service, it would be a great idea to tell your users what it is. Otherwise, having to give such information will deter users wanting privacy.

@androidlove Hi Carlos, appreciate your suggestion! You can use the keyboard without these login. For end-to-end encryption, user needs to pick the recipient so we looked at the more prevalent friend/contact lists to start with. Email-ids would be a limited set of contact book.

@aunyks @androidlove indeed we need to do a better job in communicating and sharing how we are dealing with these. Essentially we don't need any identifiable information, but just need the friend-list for user to be able to easily lock the recipient. Anonymous logins make it very hard for having contacts added
