Should I stop doing my obvious, ie hackernews@mydomain.com, account emails?
- Sardtok 3y agoIf you want to increase your security, generate a random string for the "account" name. If you are using a password manager, then this shouldn't be too difficult. It can be a hassle when registering for something in person, though.
- freetanga 3y agoBitwarden has a setting for doing exactly this. Create a random email and a random password on the fly during a new service signup Also possible to create 2-3 fake Personas in app (Name, DOB, address,…) to scatter your online footprint. Fills forms with the right one at button push.
