To my understanding, Signal requires that you have a physical phone to use the desktop version. Is there any way to scan the QR code without a physical device? I’m trying to make an anonymous Signal account.
My idea:
1.) Set up Android VM on Linux laptop
2.) Use laptop camera to scan the QR code on my desktop
I wonder…does it need to be a real phone number, or can it be a virtual phone number that forwards?

You just need to authenticate once, right? Then you can drop the burner number and you’re clean?
EDIT: Yup!
