It still shows it's a good idea to separate your e-mail from your YouTube or whatever account though. When I still used Gmail I was always worried something like this would get me locked out of everything. I use YouTube much more now t

I migrated the important stuff and then just incrementally moved things over whenever I happened to login somewhere. At this point, the only emails I get on Gmail are random crap I don't care about. It's so nice to have my Gmail o
