How hard is it to implement email verification?
This is fine for stuff I don’t care that much about, like an account with your hairdresser or a pizza place, but if you tie all your actually important stuff to the same account and you get locked out for whatever reason, now you’re locked out of your whole life.
I prefer unique passwords and a password manager. But you do have to back up the password manager data as well as any data you have with cloud providers.
For me the bigger issue is privacy. If you’re using Google to log into everything, Google gets to add all of that activity to their profile on you, and track you as you use every website you go to. No thanks. Google doesn’t need to know I’m buying a pizza tonight.
That is also a concern and why I always default to a separate account even for those things, but I wouldn’t assume that data doesn’t get sold to Google regardless.
I prefer to use different email aliases for everything to mitigate that
Yeah, I don’t use this for banks and such.
