I've got to make a decision and want to take a room temperature check on what sacrifices people find acceptable for their own comfort. Use any services you know you shouldn't? Any tools that you're just waiting for a chance to replace but can't yet?

I've had a Google account since I was old enough to have one. I've been using my email to make so many accounts for years. How does one just move to something else when what yiu already have is so deep into your other stuff?

    Gotta do it one by one. It's taken years, but now most of my stuff is off of Gmail. It's to the point where if my Google account got closed, I wouldn't miss much. I wouldn't even lose my emails that I care about since I've done multiple Takeouts.

    it's a process. by now you're probably using at least one for doing 2 factor authorization with the other. to migrate you have to create a 3rd and go through all your accounts authorizing a login then changing the 2fa account.

    I'd say it's probably easier if you have a password manager app, then you can at least let it autofill login info and use it like a checklist to work your way through. Those are obviously their own kind of baggage though
