My simple advice for you guys is to never use the emails you already used in signing up to this forum, wallets or others with confidetial infos. Because the more you used it, the more prone it become against phishing attacks or other means of hacking. Making email addresses is now as easy as 1 2 3 so don't be hesitate to create a new one for vulnerable places.

That's what I actually do now—having multiple accounts for different purposes. I just feel more secured that way, and also having 2FA in all of them. I just struggle in remembering which email address I used in what. So I make sure I write it all in my notebook or in the notes app in my phone. Don't know if that's advisable to everyone but it works just fine with me.

Well you don't have to struggle when it comes to store your email I believe your smartphone can accumulate more than 1 to 2 emails and probably most of the login on the browser are saved and even with that the advice to make use of 2af is most recommended.

This kind of feature has a different purpose still I'm not using this because I want to avoid getting trouble with my emails I know some of the suggestion of the other member that will use other emails not on their main account because this is prone to hackers and other people want to steal your information especially the email. The good thing right here with the use of this is you can send directly to the member you want to do outside to our forum but still I highly recommended too to use other emails for your other transactions it's not because you don't want to know or become anonymous it's just because of safety.

what i would like to suggest to all users here is that you should change your password here from the forum in various intervals and you should also change the password of your e-mail account in the same intervals - so you are actually very protected against account hacks

How reckless and self-confident do you need to be in order to put your email on public display? It's the same as walking around with the inscription on the T-shirt "Fuck me". These things are basic security fundamentals.
And also, in order to be absolutely sure of your safety, come up with a complex password of 50 characters long. Thats all - you don't have to worry about anything anymore. Your forum account will be completely protected!

I think someone already posted detailed instructions on how to make a strong password to avoid getting hack easily. If I'm not mistaken, the OP was GreatArkansas. wait let me post it here so that anyone could also benefit from his old thread.

This thread might old but it is something you must know when creating passwords.

You really did this step, but how can our e-mail be hacked only by knowing it, as long as the password is kept securely, can the password be hacked only through the address?

Not really, but it hinders your security. Knowing your account’s email can help scammers to create a targeted phishing campaign, or to try to cross-reference with other hacked site black-market information in case you are using the same password. You may also be using a very weak guessable password. Not making your account’s email publicly known mitigates these factors.
