Isn't that what every company says before a data breach proves otherwise? I've been hearing a lot about Hetzner, thought about trying it out, but if the service is requiring me to submit a passport or even any form of ID, then absolutely not. Your service is dead to me.
That's fine - Hetzner's business belongs to them. I did not criticize that no options could be viable; only that passport was an option that should not be in use.

It's not requiring you to submit a passport. That is just one of the options.
Feel free to use a different option.
There are two options;
1. Paypal 2. Passport
I do not have Paypal, and would not do passport.
