Great instructional video. I recall someone telling me that in cases in which they don't want to give out their normal email (thereby ending up with a lot of unrequested email) they use the normal account address they have, but they add a character(s) to the same email account, but it comes in with that character, not affecting the established email account. If I recall, a punctuation is used after the character. This way, they can scan for the added character and dispose of the email as needed and the sender doesn't have his true email address.

I appreciate this advice, and I like this video, but I also have to agree with the people here who feel like this is all way too much, mentally. I was talking with a friend last year about this topic, and he was gung-ho on creating and managing a whole slew of online identities. Basically like multiple personalities plus a whole accounting system full of aliases. Yes, I have one or two pseudonymous email accounts, but I not a whole lot, and frankly I find it too exhausting to bother using them very much. I will literally rather live the life of a near-hermit and just plain not receive the newsletters, not participate in the interactions, not make the new friends, not buy from the new additional businesses, and so on. This is why we can't have nice things.

[@libbyd1001]

I like Protonmail too, but when you mentioned it's security benefits for your financial email and being end-to-end encrypted... I thought that's only if the receiving party is using it as well. Your financial institutions are probably not using Protonmail, therefore it isn't end-to-end encrypted, right?

[@AllThingsSecured]

That is correct. I should have been more clear. The benefit is not the E2E encryption here. It's the fact that you're not using the same email address for your financial institutions that you are for every other account on the internet. So when a data breach occurs and your other emails are compromised, the login credentials for your sensitive financial accounts isn't on the dark web.

Yes, I'm interested in more information about creating an online persona. Particularly with a different phone number because many places will only let you open an account by authenticating your mobile number. My number is now compromised because of it. Now, I'm receiving texts and calls from not only unwanted marketers but scammers as well. In fact, I came to your channel hoping to find that you had already made a video on alternate phone numbers.

[@Oops-IMeantToDoThat]

The virtual numbers are becoming more difficult. I've had 2 for 7 years. Unfortunately, many sites will reject them now because they're typically assigned as pre-paid or VOIP (voice over IP). They insts you have a real number they can sell (IMO), although I'm sure they'll claim security. It's still worth getting one though - All Thing Secured has a good video on that. I've not had ONE robo since I got by first one, and maybe 3 telemarketing people, in those 7 years. Set it up to require an extension to get through (and don't use 0 or 1) - robocallers aren't setup to handle that (only because it's rare).

[@avatads438]

This is good. but it also sounds like a lot of work plus maintenance (making sure things are setup right, emails flow to the correct place). its not a one time setup, and we have to "rehearse" multiple times on each scenario to remember the steps to make it fully functional as intended. definitely not a layman friendly approach.

​@@JuneAtHomePHi don't have the time to do this. my main concern now is to reduce the time to check spam folder. because some times legit emails goes spam, and spam escaped detection and go into inbox. i had to manually check both inbox and every spam folder email. its time consuming. but i think there is a better way than outlook rules to check for email name holders better. i wish i can blanket some unique multiple keywords together so that i can catch all those spam faster. now the rules needs to be very specific, 2 words, 3 words, in sequence. so spammer just have to change a letter or spacing to get past.
