    For e-mails, you can just get firefox relay with your own subdomain and generate infinite e-mail masks for 1$ a month. I usually take “[email protected]” for example. It’s pretty great because you just make the masks on the fly.

      The email mask is free without a subdomain. I use it for the odd random signups where the only thing I’m really interested in is not having another nobhead add me to their spam lists.

        That’s how I used it initially as well, but chose to get a subdomain to identify shops and services that had data breaches/leaks, pass on the email to other shops and services, etc.

        And then I can just block that mask.

      Yup.

      If you use the same email everywhere, they can try brute-forcing the password by using the email instead of your username. Give them less to go on. $1/month is absolutely worth it to prevent an important account from getting hacked.
