For example, use a password manager, use 2FA.

    Different randomized username on everything I sign up for. I do it so you can’t google my username on one platform and find me on another. Each account also gets its own unique email address.

        Makes sense. I’ve been considering making an identical alt on beehaw, but I’m still holding out hope they’ll refederate.

      Is that a unique address at the same domain, or even the domains are unique?

        Same domain. Every email is just the username it’s associated with @ the domain (Not gmail). The passwords are different between account and email (And no two accounts anywhere share passwords).

        As of right now I have 19 already-created email accounts just waiting to eventually be associated with some account I’ll make for some service in the future. Any time I get low I’ll make a bunch more at once. I have almost 60 accounts across the internet using this system already. It does get a bit annoying when certain sites want to email me a login code every time I log in.

        I personally pay the extra $1.50 for iCloud+ (due to the extra storage) and that comes with “hide my email” - which lets you generate an alias specific to the site you’re signing up on.

        Then if I get sick of the site or I feel it’s getting spammy I just delete the alias
