I receive password resets from nearly every app and service at this point. 🙃

You should really start using an email proxy like simple login on anonaddy. I haven't gotten a password reset email in years, and when I do I just change the email and password of the account, then burn that alias.

I’m not worried about password resets. They have my email but not my password. I use a password manager, and keep my email account locked up tight. As long as they can’t get in my email, they can’t change my password.

Yeah I was also wondering why I was getting password reset emails.
