  • I am (was?) one of those. Working on eliminating or changing the passwords and emails of my 550+ accounts. I’m creating a simplelogin email for each of the ones I’m keeping, setting up a randomly generated password for each as well (24+ characters long with every possible character available), trying to delete the accounts of services I don’t want/need anymore, and then setting up 2fa on Aegis if they don’t accept a hardware tokens.

    But it’s an intense and long process, though absolutely worth it. With work and personal life, I’m guessing I can be done in a couple of weeks.






  • This is the way of the world, but only because people are allowing it. I will never understand “I’m too lazy to care about my privacy”, which undermines our security way more than we even know.

    The worst part is that, no matter how some of us care and do something about our privacy, the ones that we interact with that don’t care still expose us to all this BS. Until the world changes it’s mindset, this will not change, and only get worse (I’m not holding my breath for people to care though).
