Our personal security is top priority, being cautious are required and we don't want to compromise everything once we get hacked. As what the elders always said "don't put all your eggs in one basket" Having organize email accounts and multiple crypto wallet are best practices to follow. If you're having problem to remember every password for every account, you may use password manager. To name a few, 1. Keepass 2. Dashlane 3. Enpass 4. Passbolt don't forget to backup your password manager dbase. https://geekflare.com/team-password-manager/

Most people get lazy and end up using the same password for all their accounts or one that is very similar. This is a huge mistake and you should be willing to put in the time and care to have very different passwords that are complex unless you don't care about your personal information.

More emails do not make sense and actually do not increase your security and safety. If people don't have healthy web-surfing habits, more emails don't help them safely from potential threats, from bad guys. This is another thing beside inconvenience when someone have to log in different emails. However, using few emails that store important things, and only for your main accounts (with main parts of your capital) is enough. Such emails should not be used for any other things. For example: Email A for exchange A should be used for only Exchange A. Note that should not store your money on exchanges, if you don't have plan to trade or sell your coins. I have tried this once to be honest and the results are excruciating for me because I need to switch into different emails every time one service asks for authentication and I'm logged in on a different email... It might not be the most efficient way to sort things out
21 emails are too many, and you should not expand it. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I'll stick with my 21 emails.
I don't know reasons of repeatedly email hack of this guy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5165936.0I guess that guy has unhealthy web-surfing habits (I maybe wrong)

Or if you still want to save your password in notepad at least compress it to rar/zip and get that file a password as the main protection. This is risky, and depends entirely on which archiving program you are using, and what version of it you are using. Many archivers, and certainly older versions, don't actually encrypt the data before slapping a password on the archive, making it fairly trivial to break in to. If you really want to save them in notepad and encrypt them yourself, then you should do so on an offline computer and using proper encryption software such as Veracrypt. Bear in mind that even if you then delete the notepad file with the passwords saves in plain text, they will still be stored on your hard drive and could potentially be recovered by an attacker. The safest option for most users without the technical knowledge to do this properly is to use KeePass or similar as initially suggested.

Well this a very complicated issue. What of whereby you've already have your main email giving out for exchange and you're using it presently in every cryptocurrency registration. Should it be right to start deregister them and put another email.

~Should it be right to start deregister them and put another email.
If you mean by "deregister" is changing the email. Yes, done that. Just a tip, you can pay great alternative email services like Protonmail[1] and Tutanota[2] like $1-$5 a month(depending on what service), and get multiple aliases to your emails. So you simply don't need to switch emails every time you want to check messages from other emails.
Or just like I write at the end of my post. you can use mail.com services. It's completely free, and you can get up to 10 aliases address in one email. The downside of this method is if the main email address that you use for login got compromised that means all of your email gone, so make sure that one email for login only for login and you never use it for something else. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fa6rvEJl.png&t=665&c=_oNmmo-RJNF1Fg)

I wonder if that is the same sha256 as bitcoin mining and if a miner could crack it some how? ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) The ultimate backup you should use is paper. Best backup and last resort. You can asso use OCR software to scan it to make things easier when transferring it to digital form.

It is better to have more than one email. There should be one for school and work related stuff. Another one for bounties and another one for airdrops. You van use the one for bounties for exchange sites too or better still create another one for that purpose.

For personal use, an email must be separate from others. On the other hands, if you are a bounty hunter and airdrop participants, you must use a bulk email for that. Better you use the personal use for exchanges because exchanges sometimes send very important update which you must keep track.

This is the most important thing that we should be aware of, email password even not so complicated is not gonna be hack easily, I have use a simple password in my emails and it has not been hack yet, of course I don't hope it will but I see the big risk here is when we get phish.

Thank you for sharing, I am doing so. I only use my official email to serve my business, not my email address. With any website, I use the emails I create to avoid spam emails and malicious links sent via email.

Upon reading all the posts, I realized that I have some security flaws especially on how I manage my emails, I realized that it is really okay to use multiple email addresses, because before I am just creating those emails for nothing or just getting some free signup bonus on every website over the internet in a website like in social media.
I am starting to create my new email addresses, like fresh accounts, it's just sad because I already some of my emails on existing websites I used which I barely can't remember anymore, but it's still okay, as long as it is not important.

...I have use a simple password in my emails and it has not been hack yet I am highlighting the yet in your post. You have not been hacked yet but what if you get targeted in the future and all you had to do to prevent the hack was to use a stronger password?! Add a few special characters and numbers, big letter here and there and the strength of your password goes up from low to strong.

-snip- 1. For exchanges / social media account and any important account. Don't share this email to anyone else, please make sure that only you know this email. If someone knows this email address they will try to hack your account, even if you have 2fa on that exchange it will likely make your account lock, and if this your social media still probably fuck you up though. 2. For work/school. This means professional email, don't give it to anyone besides your college worker or friend from school. 3. For spam/promotional. You will use this email address for anything else, sign up for a newsletter, etc. -snip-
In overall, I did agree with all the opinion you have mentioned. However, based on my observations, i see (let say 7 out of 10 people) still using e-mail that provided by google, yahoo and kind like that. My suggestion, if you do activities in crypto galaxy. It would be nice, if you using email platform that provider build their email platform based on blockchain technology. Such as :
I have used tutanota since 1 year ago. When you create an email account at tutanota, then you will get a private key that has functions to restore your account. It function is exactly the same as wallet private key. So you have full control over the security of your account. Conversely, if you lose your private key, the email provider cannot help recovering your account. Coz they doesn't know your private key.
Conclusion, when you create an email account in above email provider that i mentioned, treat the private key you get same as like you treat your wallet private key.

IMO "blockchain technology" is a buzzword & the only real advantage is your encrypted mail is distributed. Asymmetric encryption on email already possible without blockchain technology.
True indeed.
I wouldn't trust any product made by John McAfee, besides while the domain is valid, no one to complete configuration process of their website.
AGREE!!! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) That' why i'm not using it.
