Anything wrong with using my real name in email aliases with organizations I have to communicate using my real identity anyway?
Anything wrong with using my real name in email aliases with organizations I have to communicate using my real identity anyway?
One example would be state disability programs, they already need my real name and identity to work with me. Are there any downsides to sharing a simplelogin alias containing my real name vs no containing my real name? I just think it would be easier record keeping for them.
Hopefully it’s all electronic. There should be nothing to make easier.
Meanwhile, why would you use a service that maintain privacy, while making choices to lose the benefit?
I used to do something like that a couple decades ago. I still have a domain with wildcard email forwarding, with the goal of using a different email for every service. Then I know who leaked my information, knew which password to reset, and who to block. But it wouldn’t be difficult to connect me with the domain, so one of the reasons I stopped using it was not seeing a privacy benefit (plus it was too much work).
Now that we have services to make it easy, let them do their thing. Every account ve created in the last 3 years has a unique generated email as well as a generated password. It’s all managed by a password manager so easy for me, and every time there’s a leak of my credential, I know which to rest or delete. I know which email to stop forwarding
