Exactly. That second example infuriates me. Just give me something to troubleshoot, for fuck's sake.

Needed to add my phone number for 2FA on a website. Something went wrong :( checked network tab and the error being returned from the API was too short phone number, they'd made an assumption based on the country they were from.

I still had to message their support to let them know, but... They could've made it easier to find out the reason at least.

It infuriates me because it’s disrespectful. The message insinuates that I wouldn’t be able to figure it out.
