I know that protecting my email is of great importance but how do i manage my about 20 email addresses at least somehow comfortably
it's annoying to look for the note of my passwords each time, is there a safe and convenient way to manage my passwords?

I want to know why you have like that a lot of email address? You can take note every password of your email address I know this is the best for you to keep safe and better to have different password and hard to know of everyone exceot to you.

In addition to protecting your email one can always unsubscribe to any phishing or suspicious email to prevent getting any further messages from that very email account.

I don't think that's a good practice, I mean who knows what link did they put into that unsubscribe button. If the email source is suspicious, it's better to mark this type of email as spam and just delete it.

I recommend using a key type SHA-256 to enter your email, which are very safe, nothing else there will have good security and also, when it comes to emails from senders that you do not know, if you do not have a freezer to open it , it is better that you do not open it, because it can infect not only the pc but internally your mail, and many times try to do Pishing.

You can use a password manager for that. With a password manager you have a master password that you need to remember. It unlocks the software that creates strong passwords for all the sites you visit. You don't need to remember any of the other passwords, just your master password, the software takes care of everything else.

Lastpass and KeePass have been suggested numerous times on the forum.

The most important of e-mail security. Because everyone shares different types of important documents in the mail. But suppose your account's mail is tracing the other person! It's really scary.

What you can do to keep the e-mail safe-
1. Any kind of link in the e-mail cannot be clicked without really understanding it.
2. Always keep your password secret and use different passwords everywhere.
3. Occasionally change the password.
4. Use maximum security in an e-mail.

Thank You

You can activate the two way factor feature on gmail
This for security purposes and there are many ways to access it in different forms of 2FA features like it could be text, or activate it by asking gmail on you phone with yea or no, by calling you and hear the code and etc. So, this 2FA will do better if you want to get extra secured in your gmail account.

Hmm. I haven't tried protonmail, but I see that with other emails that I receive. And what are the purpose of cryptocurrency payments? Is it for receiving and sending to another proton mail? I will research more about it when I get home.

Protonmail is not a service like Gmail.

They are based in Switzerland (all user data is protected by Swiss legislation).
They do not ever read your emails (Google reads all of them)

End to end encryption, open source...

However, the free protonmail version is limited to 500mb. If you need more, you need to pay. It's high quality service, so it can't be free like Google (where you are the product).

I see I guess I need to check it out more than I should. So it's like the Swiss bank type but for email lol. And with that type of encryption would definitely protect your cryptocurrency transactions. I think if it's just for email, 500 MB would be enough. Unless you are receiving large amounts of files through it.

I see where you are going from.

I agree with you, you should have multiple gmail accounts for different campaigns.

Instead of multiple Gmail accounts you could try other email providers more privacy focused.

For example protonmail (the best in my opinion, which also accepts cryptocurrency payments) and tutanota.

Those emails are very safe and reliable. You should try.

Another way to keep account safe is to never download any attachment files given to you is that's how the hacker use to invade your personal information and security information and be able to breach your account.

There is no possible way for you to just totally stop downloading attachment because you might also get a genuine attachment rejected.
All you need to is check well before any move

That's another way to keep your account really secure especially using different password regularly.

Staying secure and safe is top priority and should be done no matter the cost or what it takes, this topic is another wonderful one that helps to keep us ahead if scammers and fraudsters.
Once we are aware of such precautions,it makes it very difficult to fall prey to their scams

Bitcoin FTW!

I actually use a site called WeLeakInfo (click for link) to find out if any of my emails or logins have been compromised along with HaveIBeenPwned- WeLeakInfo actually provides information on the exact leaked details of your email and password so you don't use the same password or something similar in the future.

2FA's not a perfect solution, but you should always have it enabled whenever possible. I've stopped potential intruders into my inboxes several times many years ago with 2FA, still have it enabled on all my inboxes.

I think the first step for email protection is your email account itself. Passwords for emails should always be different from your passwords being used in other websites

I disagree with you on this one a phishing link is sent to your email and you follow it you would be caught by the virus and it would expose your password regardless if you have different password

I'm only tackling the importance of your email protection with my post/message you quoted so I didn't mention anything about spotting emails regarding phishing sites in your spam folder. But I think it goes without saying that not every email you receive in your account is really that trustworthy and you need to be very extra careful when it comes to spotting every detail of the email you receive especially when it is an email related to your bank, wallet, or credit card accounts.

I think if you change your password you can write it down in a dairy or any where else for future reference so as not to unknowingly block yourself out

you should use another email or your phone no added as a recovery method. This will help you to get access in case you forget the password of your email. As a security measure change the password monthly.
Use simple to remember but effective and strong password like "Earth7_Mars2` . This paasword has 3 special character,2 numeric character and 2 capital letter with overall length of 14 and it is very simple to remember. Increase length of password to make it more secure.

Last but not the least, do not share your password.

If anyone is serious about their privacy I would avoid using any of the big guys: Google, Yahoo, Hotmail.

They store all your received and sent messages even if you delete them. Also never enter your e-mail on haveIbeenpwned website because they are seeking out active emails that people actually care about.

Actually the HaveIBeenPwned site is really helpful, which explains the amount of spam I've received over the last few years.

I just checked recently and wow, 5 relevant sites breaches.

And how do you know HIBP is actually harvesting emails?

And like you mentioned, 2FA could add additional security. You have to make sure you don't lose your phone or something like that.

Precautions can be taken to prevent this, backing up your 2FA code would allow you access it on another device should you lose your phone or PC.
Authy automatically saves your profile and can be accessed using your email and password should you lose the original device.

It's best to double check if it's backed up or something, sometimes you might think you did, but you didn't. I have those experiences where I think I thought I did it, or am I just paranoid? I do use Authy because it's more convenient in my opinion if ever you lose your phone or something like that.
