I assumed it was already dead, just on a lark I went to sign in and it appears to require a phone number now, not my old number? so I guess it has not actually been "ICQ" in a while?

edit: ah, they're doing the odious "use an sms to allow your account to be compromised login" instead of passwords. Then they say "your account has been compromised" until you add a phone number



You can bypass the phone number login using the link on the top left, and instead login with your ICQ number and password.


yeah, that was my edit but I realize I didn't actually clarify that just what it was doing. But it then will just claim your account has been compromised until you give them a number :D


You can bypass that second screen as well (or at least, it let me do so for my account).
