I use Mullvad and their sign-up process is even easier. I just click "Generate account number" and that's it. I don't need to provide anything, I don't even need a keyboard.

I honestly wish 99% of online services were like that.

> Where's the terms of service agreement?

"By signing up, you agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy", it's on the sign up page

> I think the signup did not even require JavaScript to succeed.

I tried without Javascript and it just refreshed the sign up page without any error displayed so I don't know about that one.

edit: worked when i tried again, weird.

From a user perspective, yeah, practically every site I have to create an account for would be better if the signup was that simple. They're all basically one time throwaway accounts anyway, so why not treat them as such at the service level. Of course from the business view, there's all sorts of reasons, but one can dream...

Thanks for pointing out the terms of service agreement thing - it was so unobtrusive that I just glanced over it!

Check out Mullvad vpn sign up process, they dont even have a password…

Now that is an impressive account setup process for sure! Glad to see these kinds of flows exist.
