π Email Privacy
Niq talks about segregating your email and not publishing your personal email where possible. One email address ainβt gonna cut it these days.
This post really resonated with me, and itβs a topic Iβve written about before. I take it one step further than Niq though, instead of using addresses like social@
, shopping@
, newsletters@
I have fosstodon@
, amazon@
, ebay@
etc. Thereβs a unique address for every service.
Well, I donβt actually have those addresses. Instead I have a uniquely random email address for each service thatβs generated by my password manager, Bitwarden:
Your email address is sensitive personal information that needs to be protected.
Niq
I completely agree, Niq. A username is sensitive, and - in my opinion at least - it should be treated as another factor for authentication. So my username and my password are unique for most services.
Anyway, great read, as is most of Niqβs stuff, so be sure to check out this post, and his others.
