The takeaway from this article is actually, to me, quite amusing: Have fewer accounts. From online banking (he does online banking! laughing-girls.jpg) to shopping to eighteen social media accounts -- this is too much!
Admittedly, I don't do Netflix, or iTunes; I use passwords like "I bet shittyforums.example.com uses plaintext" for shitty one-off forums; when I don't care about a site, but want to see its content, I participate in BugMeNot. I actively work to reduce the number of things I'm signed up for.
- Meai 15y agoThat's like saying "I can't carry that much food, the solution is to buy less food."

- troyhunt 15y agoThings like shopping and social media add up before you know it and it's only once you actually start tracking them do you realise how many you have. Think of just the really globally common shopping stuff (eBay, Amazon, Go Daddy), then add some local services (pizza delivery, online tech stores, magazine subscription) and you're more than halfway there already. You'd be surprised!
