No. I'm not afraid at all. Indeed I have accounts with most of the projects that are being shown off here. Some paid, some just trials. Some I still use, some I don't. However, I'm very cautious with entrusting my phone number or authentication related applications to a startup.

That's all I said. I'm not saying nobody should trust them. I'm not saying they aren't trustworthy in general.

I just said that I don't trust them with my phone number (or gmail HOTP secret for that matter).

Especially in matters of authentication services that require more private information than what's strictly needed leave a bad taste in my mouth.
