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....

"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.
