I recall successfully renewing my registration several times online before, but now they want a phone number and they are pushing some weird government smartphone app "to handle your government todo items"?

Update: Although not listed on the site, I was able to find a link to the old online registration system (which feels very COBOL-ish), and it worked without any smartphone shenanigans.

    I just did this a couple weeks ago and don't remember needing my phone.

    Missed the part where this was to create a new account. I've had one for years, so maybe this is something they changed.

    I don't even like using the website for things like this (in part because i have to spend 5-10 minutes tweaking my browser's privacy settings to get any government site to work). I just went to an office and did it in person this year. I'm in Kansas. I hope doing this in person is always an option, at least.

    C'mon dude. ACTUAL fascism is taking shape in several countries across the globe right now.

    This registration this is BULLSHIT. I won't argue that. But to say it's fascism is like screaming at a jewish guy that his store policy makes him hitler.

    It's a bit much for that situation.
