Phone-verification Memes

So instead of just typing your phone number like a normal human being, you now have to... pick a color? And somehow that color magically translates into a phone number? Someone really looked at a standard registration form and thought "you know what this needs? More unnecessary steps and confusion." The UI designer probably pitched this as "innovative" and "user-friendly" while the backend dev was silently screaming into the void. Because nothing says security and convenience like converting #088285 into +13 (057) 735-4717. What's next, drawing your password in interpretive dance? The best part? Try explaining to your grandma that her phone number is now "teal" instead of just... her phone number. Peak UX design right here.
