Most of us only use one email address for everything online. This is much less secure than you think. Data breaches happen all the time and it’s just a matter of time before your personal information gets leaked.

Which is more sensitive: your password or your email address? While your PW is important, your email address is often a unique identifier to you online.

In fact, your email address may have already been compromised. A great way to find out is by using haveibeenpwned.com.

Creating and managing multiple email addresses may seem overwhelming, but it’s actually easier than you think! Blur by Abine, 33Mail, Maskmail and SimpleLogin all provide platforms to manage a large quantity of addresses.

And while these are all great resources, our top recommendation is AnonAddy. They provide custom domains, GPG keys, reply accessibility, it’s open-source, and you can self-host on a private server.

Overall, compartmentalization is a key principal for leveling up your cybersecurity. Using unique email addresses, along with passwords, is one of the best ways to implement this principle online. That way, even if one of these services are breached, your personal information won’t be leaked–just your masked email accounts.
