By the way, I can recommend the habit of deleting at least one account per week.

Just look through your password manager, or the list of passwords kept by your browser.

Step 1: check if the site still exists and if you can log in (if not, delete the entry)

Step 2: look around and see what data they kept on you, for who knows how many years. You should now experience an urge for step (3).

Step 3: figure out how to delete the account. Often hidden under privacy or advanced options, more often requires an email to support. If so, set a reminder to followup after a week or so if nothing happened.

Step 4: once the account is gone, delete the entry from your password manager (browser)

Keep this up for a few years and you might get there....

Long tedious process

Best in class is IBERIA airline:

If you just want to unsubscribe from their Newsletter, they require a KYC with ID or passport uploaded. Luckily, simplelogin.io exists. That way, I can just turn off or delete this forward email address and delete the account in the password manager.

I will adopt your habit of deleting at least one account per week, and will start with my best-in-class candidate.

But airlines have a LOT of details about you, which will inevitably leak. Spam is the least of your problems.

E.g. I recently got an out of the blue password reset email from an airline I flew with a decade ago. That was my prompt to kill that account, it might have been from even before I used a password manager. No idea if someone tried to break into that account. Or if they just did a system wide password reset after they'd been compromised or something, in which case it was too late :-)

Like instagram. I hate that app.

Long term thinking! Something something about time preference 😃

"List of passwords kept by your browser." Goodness. Its like you actively hate being secure. Have you also put up a sign in your front yard, saying "free cookies for thieves, all thieves welcome"?

And why is your browser running in the same user space as your password manager and using the same keychain less secure?

For this I like to run Firefox with the Multicontainer extension to be able to isolate cookies in each browser tab.

Been working at this for a couple years now. My Gmail account is getting closer and closer to finally becoming unnecessary.
