It’s actually a good idea - I need to figure out how to do that.
For the last several years I’ve used randomly generated email addresses for every account. I can turn off forwarding when they’re inevitably leaked to spammers and there’s one less thing for demographers to aggregate data on me with. That works well when every service insists on a working email address.
But then I get lazy and use a more obvious username so I can remember it. I need to be able to auto-generate those as well
