If you're interested in getting "true" results, perhaps you could do something like this:
name1@website.com
name2@website.com
etc.
In a spreadsheet, you have one column with the number, and another with the company name. You might want to change this up, putting the identifier in different parts of the email address, to avoid similar "canary" signals.
Personally, I use BitWarden to generate usernames for each website, to help keep my fingerprint (somewhat) scrambled. LastPass also has a good username generator. [1] I would just avoid using complete non-sense words, since there might be some amount of human review.

- seanp2k2 4y agoReading these over the phone to dinosaur financial institutions is pretty unfun though. I was doing something similar with generated usernames, had to call in to reset my password because some places operate like it's still 1983, and the person helping me probably thought I was nuts with my 30+chr random username.
- reaperducer 4y agoSounds like you use Bank of America, too! I had to read my e-mail address to someone there just last week.
- spcebar 4y agoI had this experience with a different bank (with an embarrassing email address). I wonder if there's some compliance thing here for banks.
