How long has the debate been going about personal privacy?
Do you think it didn't apply to business or corporate entities?
Ensuring you are in full control of your passwords was already a thing, but logic suggests being in control of your identity (your login identity) is every bit as important.
The reason websites want to use your email address as a logon is they can on sell it.They can aggregate all your data under the username and cross link it.
You got it for free. Those services you paid for you actually still have, you just can't access them because you used a free service to handle the security.
(google, Facebook, twitter handled the verifying it was you and they do it for free - it just cost you your privacy)
Sadly, you actually got exactly what you paid for security wise.
If you had used your phone number as a logon (don't laugh google is doing that too) then all your privacy is out the window because even transitory email accounts can be cross link and you are now fully identifiable.
No? Well how often have you changed phone numbers?
When you start again, get at least 4 email addresses.
1 private
2 banking/financial
3 all the other stuff
4 business (perhaps another one for business don't care)
Manage them yourself so you can delete or add as the spam/junk overwhelms.
