The only thing you need to own is your primary email address and as long as that’s on a domain you own then you can move it. That’s about the only independence there is these days. If you use @icloud.com or @gmail.com for everything then you’re screwed.
You have to depend on someone somewhere. Just make that dependency less of an issue should anything show stopping happen.
Personally I’d like to see some legislation around identity providers and service levels and account retention.
- mdavidn 2y agoI think vbezhenar's point was simply that the recovery e-mail at a registrar should not depend on a domain managed by that same registrar. The registrar can update MX records.
- stingraycharles 2y agoYeah keep your email provider and iCloud provider separate. For password management, use something like 1Password, and you got your main “identities” separated. In case of losing access to either of them, the impact will be relatively contained.
