 I just watched it again, says nothing about a credit card. It describes the only way you can put it in dev mode.

 I've been in dev mode on the Quest and now Quest 2. That's how you do it. turn it on in settings on your phone, go to their site and register as an organization, instant dev mode. Not sure what all the all the giggles are about, but if you are trying to figure how to put it in dev mode without an Oculus/ Facebook account. It's not going to work

No, that's the new policy. The video is out of date.

As of October 8 all new people MUST go through an extra step to get their developer accounts activated. Those of us who have bought from the Oculus store using a credit card are already approved (I didn't have to do anything, they already had it). Existing accounts also get until feb 2021 to do it, new ones after october 8 don't get that bonus time, they are immediate.

The two listed methods are a credit card or 2FA with a phone number.
The phone option, however, is only available to existing Oculus based accounts. New Facebook only accounts don't get the phone option, only a valid credit card can enable a developer account.

  I knew the credit card verification was coming, I thought for all of us.  Didn't know the phone step was gone for new users.  Sorry I suspected shenanigans with someone else's property
