https://login.microfocus.com/ requires too much registration data. It is absolutely not necessary to know the real name, address, phone, job title, zip, location etc. of people just so they can report bugs or write in the forums. This is against the GDPR principle "Data protection by design and by default". The same Article 25 says: "The controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed." https://gdpr-info.eu/art-25-gdpr/ Also it is not necessary a 3rd party site (microfocus) to collect the data.
