I still use my first ever made email address, at this point it’s pushing 28 years old. However I have a major problem. I can rarely log into it anymore. There are so many attempts to login to the account daily from whoever out there that wants to gain access that the login is normally locked out for a period of time. At this point I’ve moved everything of financial value off of it as someone did get access once, but there are still plenty of random little things I’d like to hang on to it for.
I know I can just make a new one and ditch that one as a quick solution, but I figured i’d ask a wider community if they had any insights I might not have. It’s a Microsoft account, and my windows is tied to it, but I’m pretty sure I can just migrate that to something new.
I have an old email from when I was like 7 and signed up on a range of different gaming websites.
Now however, I use proton mail. They even own SimpleLogin, so all I do it generate hundreds of email aliases. No website know my actual email address and each mail received to these aliases, are forwarded to my actual proton mail account. Using Keepass or another password manager of choice, is a wise idea so you don’t have to remember all these accounts. Simple! Both secure, and private as it would be difficult to identify each account to an identity
