Ebay will (or used to) tell you when your account started. July 97 for me. I remember when i could skim through all of the auctions, on my lunchbreak.
Ebay still shows your start date on your feedback page. Mine dates back to December 1999 and I believe that makes it my oldest still active online account.
I guess technically that'd be the email account at my employer where I started some decades ago. Before Google and their Gmail was a thing, anyway. Or, livejournal, I guess. ...MySpace... Oof, AOL... Usenet, maybe...
Gah. I'm old.
GitHub account since 2008. I think I started to use Gmail around that time, but I do not use that at all anymore.
Email from 2001
Wikipedia user account from 2002.
Apparently there are dozens of us still using Hotmail. 24 years strong!
Hotmail is what I use to sign up to things that I don't want to get emails from
1996 Hotmail. Created as a throwaway with no link to my work. Still working as a spam dump.

AOL, 2001
Yeah aol for sure though I certainly don’t frequently use it. But I do access it every year or two. That was probably around 2001 as well but I’d need to think about it
Probably my google account. I'd look up the exact age but then I'd feel old.
Yahoo. It was from 07
Easily my /. account, using it daily since 1997 or something
I have an eBay account from 2000 or so, and my email is nearly as old I believe.
I don’t use the eBay account all that often now, but on and off throughout the years. Last used last year.

Gotta be my RuneScape account from 2006. Thanks to OSRS being a thing, I still play on it.
I guess technically my KOL. account.
Here's a question for everyone who's old enough, what is KOL and what happens to it when you turn a certain age? I've yet to meet or hear of anyone knowing this answer.
Steam Acc from 2005 and YouTube from 2006
Year one Steam account, even has a unique profile badge. It's a little over 20 years old. I only made it because I bought a copy of CS: Condition Zero, and it was needed to play online.
Soemthingawful forum membership. Joined in 2k2.
Maybe my Gmail account. I made it to play Club Penguin. I still use it when signing up for things.
I have some old forum accounts but I don't use them anymore. I also had a Minecraft account from before the Mojang and Microsoft migrations. That's gone now. :(
My League of Legends and Steam accounts are old too.
E-mail account circa 1994.
EDIT: I just checked. My Amazon account goes back to 1995 for a solid second place.
I still use the same gmail I made when I was 10, roughly 2005-ish.
Nice try Robert from Iran
My Discord account, which I've had since the early 2020's.
