[ HOW EHARMONY WORKS ]
eHarmony matches members through a compatibility questionnaire rather than open browsing, with no public search.
Usernames/handles: No public username; matched via compatibility system
Requires a Phone Number to Sign Up
eHarmony requires a valid phone number during signup, so an account is generally tied to a real, working number — a reverse phone lookup is a reasonable starting point if you have one to check.
Requires an Email Address to Sign Up
eHarmony requires an email address during signup. Accounts are sometimes created with disposable or single-use addresses, so a long-established, verifiable email is a mildly reassuring signal on its own.
