I like Bitwarden. Tried all the rest. Bitwarden is really great. Plus... I'm a huge fan of how it generates passwords. Celtic-Twisted-Endowment-Petal4-Anybody

I try and avoid SSO for the most part.

I like being able to use Gmail modifiers so I can create filters if I need to block certain accounts from being spammy.

first.last+serviceURL@gmail.com is usually what I use. So like first.last+news.ycombinator.com@gmail.com. Every service gets their own alias modifier. Then if I ever need to turn it off, I can just set a filter and they're done. Plus, this way I always know who sold my contact info.



I think this works in practice but I still prefer to have an anonymous/hidden/random email for each service. If one of your Gmail alias emails is sold, isn’t it trivial to write a script and figure out the real Gmail addresses?


Fair. Feels like it’s an uncommon enough practice that most marketers don’t bother. I had access to a 6,000,000+ email list one time and I was curious how many people did this trick and it was under 100.
