Hi all -
So, for many years I've had GOG and a number of other "medium security" accounts, as well as some throwaway accounts, tied to an old and...ummm...embarrassing email account.
Without naming names, this email provider has never been known for their good security practices, but as I didn't have a bank account or anything life-ruining tied to it, I just kinda kept rolling. But after a number of annoyances over the years in the past few weeks I got that $2,000 Bitcoin scam email that's been going around that this provider failed to filter, and it was a prompt to finally deal with the fact they just are not reliable.
Most of the old accounts tied to this email I haven't used in years, so it will be easier to move or recreate the few accounts I would actually need now than it would have been 8-10 years ago. I do already have my higher security accounts tied to several emails through another provider, but I'd like some ideas on a 2nd provider I could use.
I'm looking for maybe 2-3 ideas on email service providers that folks consider reliable/reputable/secure these days for things like GoG that aren't life critical, but that it would still be nice to keep secure?
thanks!
