While yes an annoyance, we should reflect on how far we've come when this type of thing causes little to no disruption.
Most of us use unique passwords, a smaller portions uses unique emails per account, and in the future we will use public keys (passkeys).
Security is getting better I'm optimistic.
However we have to continue to push on providing as little information to these companies (i.e. they don't need my name, DOB, etc.). And in the future I look forward to where I store this information, and provide it just in time as needed for the specific use cases (i.e. it might be processed and checked by a 3rd party but it's never stored).
