Looks like gitlab now requires account verification for new accounts in addition to email. Either phone number or credit card.

This applies both to accounts created with a working email or by logging in using your github account. You can’t even verify your email until you go through step 1.

I don’t know when this started, but at least for the last month or two judging from these posts in the forums.

Fun fact: I don’t even want to host on gitlab, I just wanted to report bugs in some projects. So I’m locked out.

    I’ve tried a few times in the past 2 weeks. Using a good email account and also with github, no luck though. Maybe its doing some “smart” heuristics to trigger it.

    I just retried now, using that temp mail (but no vpn) and got the exact same phone verification. Maybe my IP address is evil :D
