[Tim Bray]

To some extent, it was WhatsApp taught the world that huge numbers of
people are happy to be known by their phone number and not much else.

On the other hand, the new hotness in Enterprise chat is called Slack
and it’s really very good.  It has a traditional login flow but when
you’re trying to do login/password on your mobile device it pops up
and says “Would it be easier if we just emailed you a PIN?” and it
usually is.  So email isn’t dead.
