Comment on The challenge of deleting old online accounts | Loudwhisper

I’ve been doing this. I’ve actually been using Proton Pass and SimpleLogin to anonymize the information.
I also realized the importance of not just using a different (strong) password on each site, but using a different email, and using a different username.
I had quite a few accounts to modify/delete, and I realized if I did 5-10 per day that I could accomplish it in less than 100 days.
Well, good news. I finished last week.

Congratulations on completing this!
I have indeed moved most accounts to individual aliases. I used to use the same username and similar emails (perhaps grouped like shops@mydomain), but I got no benefit and the username allowed unnecessary correlations.
So alias + random username and I will have much much less trouble in the future. Hopefully!
