    I also highly recommended using a temporary email for signing up for stuff whenever possible.

    This is the worst security advice I have ever heard. Now someone doesn’t even need to get your password, just your email and they can just use the temporary email provider to reset your password?

      For services that are throwaway, this is fine. I don’t care if someone gains access to my ice cream rewards account, they don’t have anything else important. And I believe these services only last 10 minutes, meaning you can’t password reset them because the inbox doesn’t exist.
