How do you accomplish that? In my experience every single service on the internet relies on email for account creation, password recovery and general identity verification.
I'm not saying that's good, only that it's the current state of affairs.
- bluGill 6y agoRight, so don't do important things on the internet. Good advice in general.
- Klonoar 6y agoI'm rolling my eyes at your comment. Come on now, you know what I meant. Email is like getting mail in your postal box. It has no real protections except for people saying "yeah, I won't read your mail". Thus, if something is important enough, don't use it for that. If you really need to do something privately there are better equipped avenues; if you're worried about tracking, it doesn't matter because - any service mailing you will try to track you - if you email with anybody from Google/MSFT/etc, your email is on their servers anyway. It's a lost cause. It has been for some time. Keep a strong password on it and 2FA and such, but otherwise, it's not worth the time to care about.
