Your own wrongdoing. Always use a site-specific auth method, i.e. by email. And a separate email for each site.

Your own wrongdoing. Always use a site-specific auth method, i.e. by email. And a separate email for each site.
Using a separate email address for each site is smart, but creating a separate email account for each site is going to be very tedious, and I imagine Google, Yahoo, etc are going to stop you very quickly after you've opened 20+ accounts with the same phone number.
(Use a catch-all to have different email addresses for different sites, because when one gets hacked, then the damage is limited.)
Using your own domain that you control for emails also comes with the advantage of easily moving providers, should there be any issues.
Hopefully, domain registrars are less prone to locking people out compared to Apple, given cause of the lockout is caused by Apple itself.
Reminds me of the time Namecheap stopped doing business with Russian accounts, even then they still gave some time for them to transfer their domains.
Only if you are not locked out of the registrar. Then your only hope is what nobody would squat your domain when it lapses.
Eg: Dynadot decided what my birthdate is a secure pin two years ago. No combination of it works and I'm not even sure if I'm not shadowbanned for the attempts.
Proton allows you to alias. But a lot of places prevent aliases, which is silly. I shouldn't have to give an email to demo your chatbot.
Then proton becomes your single point of failure.
"But I use my addresses on my own domain" ok your domain registrar, then.
https://sidebox.net is a nice way to do this as long as the site doesn't restrict to mainstream email domains
Google allows email suffices a la my account+anything@gmail.com.
So you can use different email addresses for different accounts while having only one Gmail account.
I tried this for a little while but quickly stopped as a critical mass of websites broke when I tried using it to sign in. Special characters in your email address is an edge case that produces inconsistent results even within a single product

Little trick: You can also randomly insert dots in your email address, a bit more stealth and compatible with more sites :)
