What are the benefits of using those sites?

I’ve heard Yahoo! is good for stock market trading and financial news, but haven’t heard anything else about any of them.

    My friend, I have to butt in here. Last year I switched from Gmail to Proton, and I have like 130 accounts I had to recreate or switch over. And I still have tons left on Gmail (100+, though many of which are effectively abandoned) so I’m ending up having to use both. Some things don’t let me change emails and it’s a ton of work to recreate them. Like some of my financial accounts or Google and its products, whose ecosystem I am still relatively entrenched in. (Slowly working on getting out of that mud but with a family who is also entrenched, it’s not that easy.) And many more services than those 2 types as well.

    I would have loved to just have 5 accounts to chanfe and nothing else.

        If you have used your mail for over a decade it’s very easy to get over 130 accounts.

        I have over 480 items in my password manager. Not all are unique accounts but most are

          You do know that you can use + in your Gmail address to create as many virtual accounts as you want without having to create a separate email account for each service?

          Example: [email protected] and [email protected] will both go to [email protected] but give you option to filter them into separate folders.

          Managing a separate email account for each service must buy incredibly time consuming.

            I don’t believe they were referring to unique email accounts, but to unique accounts in their password manager.

            Which means a few hundred accounts to move to a new email address.

            The reason I use Proton is to have a unique email for every account that cannot be used to find my original email address, and that I can delete at a moments notice if said email somehow gets on a spam list. Nobody except me knows my main account email. The + method does nothing for me.
