I use Bitwarden for pw manager and 2FA. I use that to create a random password for anything I sign up to.

I am fortunate enough to run my own mail server, so for every signup I don't trust, I make a new email address and only use it for that one thing. You can do facetube+normalemail@someplace.con if you cannot run your own. This at least lets you know who is leaking your info.

I generally try to run as much FOSS as possible, I do dual boot Win/Linux because unfortunately we still have companies not providing for both OS.

And if I go out in the public, I wear a cricket box.
