Now You: What's your take on this new password-less sign-in option? This can be done on the Account settings page. You will need to add new phone numbers that you may have switched to as well to continue using the feature. The only option that you have in this case is to contact customer care to sort things out. While you can click or tap on the "can't access your account", they don't really help you as you need access to your phone to resolve the issue. There seems to be no option to sign-in with the username and password instead.

While you don't have to remember a password anymore to sign-in if you are using the new feature, you do need access to your mobile phone to sign-in instead. It takes care of weak passwords that users set often when they create accounts, protects accounts against hacking, phishing or brute-force attacks, and will likely reduce support requests in regards to lost passwords or hacked accounts.
