They won't forget the email, but they might easily forget with which email they registered (happened to me).

- trengorilla 6y agoHow many e-mails could you possibly have that makes trial and error not a good solution in this scenario?
- kd913 6y agoI tend to use aliases so I can filter/discover which exact service is perhaps selling my email. ie <email prefix>+<tag>@gmail.com That tag could be anything or everything.
- danaris 6y agoWell, first of all, I have 5 email accounts that I regularly use. One of those uses multiple domains (it's an iCloud account that I registered way back in the iTools days, so it supports @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com....possibly even @itools.com, not sure about that one). I regularly use a + extension to the addresses that support it when I'm signing up somewhere that I don't 100% trust, and that allows arbitrary additions to the address. And I don't always remember what version of a site's name I will have used (eg, user+hn@example.com, user+hackernews@example.com, user+ycombinator@example.com, etc). I recognize that I'm an outlier, but trial and error is completely infeasible in this scenario.
