I think you’d have a theoretical issue if the next person who got that number also tried to set up a signal account.

You might be right. I’ll have to go double check, but I don’t think that you can just set up a new account with the same number without the password you set up.

You can enable a registration lock, where anyone with your number would have to enter a pin to register an account with it. However, it removes itself if you don’t log in for a while.

Yep, that’s what I was thinking of. I guess just set a reminder to login every now and then (if you don’t use regularly).
