  I agree. If you’re worried about it, set up a free gmail account to use for validation, problem solved.

    You mean those free email accounts that actively scrape your emails for data?

    Is everybody here just on crazy pills today?

      They’re saying “free” email services. What they mean are disposable e-mail services. You go to a website, they provide you with a random e-mail address. You enter that address into the form, check for the verification code on the disposable e-mail site and you’re done with the disposable e-mail. You never visit the disposable site again. Do a search for “disposable email”.

        Son I’ve been using mailinator since before you learned to type

        They still track your data, they still sell your usage, in fact THAT IS THE ENTIRE BUSINESS MODEL FOR DISPOSABLE EMAILS

        It really staggers me how ignorant everyone in this thread seems to be about basic security practices

      But if you only use that email account for authentication to the system and it’s not tied to you, they have no way of tying it back to you. It’s just an anonymous email address.

        that now has your IP address and your host string, as well as matching your ID to any sales trackers you happen to have, basically all you need to uniquely identify a user across sessions

  Then you don’t understand privacy
