Ask HN: Best-practices for email and account hygiene?
I've recently noticed increasing notifications (both via email & 2FA) of attempts to break into various accounts (extant and not). I've enabled 2FA wherever it's available and every password is unique via LastPass, but all the notifications I've been getting have me alarmed. For example:
"We received a request to reset your password on BestBuy.com. However, we don't have an account associated with this email address..."
This, combined with the uptick of spam getting through gmail's filters, has me considering the daunting task of migrating all of my accounts from [email protected] to... something else.
I'm curious about the experiences & lessons learned from others here who may have gone through something similar. My current plan is to migrate to [email protected], [email protected], etc, and to isolate human-to-human correspondence at [email protected]. But I'm open to alternative strategies.
