Take a minute and think about your primary email address. If you’re anything like me, it is highly likely you’ve used the exact same handle for the last five, 10, or even 15 years. This email address is tied to everything from your bank accounts to your social media profiles, your tax documents, and your healthcare apps. Basically, all the important stuff.However, at the same time, this same email address is used for throwaway websites, to read one-off articles, log in to public Wi-Fi, or buy something from an online store. We treat our email addresses as the key source of identification on the internet, but in the modern landscape of the internet, exposing your true email address to every database willy-nilly is an utter liability.
