Topic: [GUIDE] Tips on securing our emails (Read 327 times)
Use multiple emails really help us people who not want to reveal our main email to anyone. Because from what i see, sometimes when i submitted my email, some spam email don't know from where is coming, that is why sometime i use my second email to do airdrops or bounties so my main email not revealed easily.
Great tips for added security. In summary, just have two email accounts, one to be your main, and the other for those unreputable sites you sign up into. Although you must always remember the password for your second account, and having to remeber two accounts on which one you used on a site could be quite difficult at start, but it takes time to get used to.
2. Using Multiple Password:
Like email, you can also use multiple passwords with different use to secure and manage accounts easily.
Example
Main - December @ 123
Dummy - November $ 456
This kind of example already worked a lot with me.
Ever since they require special characters with passwords, I normally did it now.
Every password had special character then two numbers and capital and small letter in it.
The only problem is I forgot my other passwords since I already got used to it.
Some of them just have normal small keys and numbers. Digging them out had been a lot of work.
in fact the whole point of it all is that you don't have to publish your main email and separate it for different uses, I made another email specifically for bounty work because my email was published in their spreadsheets so many spammers will attack with unclear promotions or send dangerous links , so I always separate the main email from the email for my work in crypto as a bounty hunter, if it's done well everything will be safe, I activate 2fa sms and gmail code, I don't give my main mobile number to anyone, so this is where I look after it
Agree, use a different email for the bounty or to register with the exchanger. The most important thing is we have 2FA for our email because sometimes we store data in cloud storage that is connected to our email account
I don't know why even if i have followed all of some of my emails are still getting published on internet or there is something wrong with my PC. I just curious about how the scammer can get our email or maybe they are buying it from the trusted party who have been selling our email.
The possibility for the collusion is always there even if you are using the trusted service.
And just build my own email platform for myself and that's enough for me.

I also used protonmail for my more secure private emails, good email service and it's for free.
Of course, one of the best practice is not to click any links that you received in your inbox, specially if you don't know the source or the originator of the mail.

Good guide, I did everything when I registered the email. And also someone who is not known to send emails is better to ignore and don't trust, or can add email filters so that unknown emails enter the spam list.
actually I have done as you said a long time ago, but my mistake was connecting emails with each other for recovery, so I think I still need to fix all of this, thank you for the advice you gave. btw, it's very useful because recently I got a fake email from blockchain.com

Use this email to register for any reputable sites and apps that hold your funds, like E-wallets (Coins.ph, Coinbase, Abra etc.) and for reputable exchanges that hold your assets (Binance, Bitfinex, Polinex, HitBTC etc. )

I will take down HitBtc if I were you. Using your main e-mail address here could cause you everything.
Trust me, I know it. Someone is logging in with my account even though I am not using HitBtc anymore.
How do I know? It keeps on sending me e-mails that I logged in from a certain area and country. Which I didn't do.
Just a head up though.
Binance is okay with me. It will tell you what is going on with your account or if someone is trying to access it thru email for security purposes of course.
Thanks though for the tips using dummy accounts.
I recently lost my 0.007 BTC on HitBTC to be honest.
And and post it on Pilipinas Section (Philippines), I really do believe what you said and I already lost my trust on that crappy exchange.

It can also be used on various social media accounts such as:
Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube etc.
But it's more secure if you have a separate email. Email for social medias and email for all fund controll sites and apps.
Note:
Never use this email to register to any sites, especially if you are an Airdrop and Bounty Hunter.
This indeed a good tips. Thank you for sharing us, most people here often got hacked or scammed due to using their personal email even for joining airdrop and once youre email flooded lots of emails then you accidentally fall for such scam link then youre done. For newbies should read this guideline its worth youre time.
I do consider that most of the people who are signing up uses their personal email address that already exposes them to risk and in addition, they also provide passwords that are mostly used for their personal account as well. With that regard, we cannot ensure that each platforms do really implement encryption of the users passwords to their database. So, for us to secure our emails, when signing up, make sure to provide purely different passwords and username information.

Secure email using multiple emails is a good idea but sometimes I don't want to use it. Simply log in using the HP verification with OTP or if necessary use the Authenticator to be more secure and will not be able to get people into our email.
Pretty good advices, been doing the three mentioned by OP's as long as I could remember and other things as well.
I regularly changes my email password and the main email only for the most reputable exchanges or platform. And don't you just click any links you received on your email without reading the content and the sender first, who knows, hackers might try to change the password from one of your associated account with the email, and you didn't pay enough attention of such things.
