Yahoo made me change the pass word to my email that I've had since 1998, lost the pass word and can't get it back. I do NOT want yahoo again.

Also need to know how to notify F.R. of the change.

The problem with that is if you change your ISP, for a variety of reasons, you lose your email.
Having something separate give you a lot more flexibility.

I recommend ProtonMail, too. It’s encrypted, no ads, no landing page with links to news stories to get passed.

It’s quick and easy with post office.com

I wouldn’t use Google if it were mandatory.

I second protonmail.com. And you can get a free limited VPN with that.

Using Protonmail.com for all mine now. Mostly because they don’t require phone # and other personal info verification.

How do you recover lost passwords?

You can reset your password.

Without an alternate email account or a cell phone?

One more vote for Protonmail here.

That, and AOL. They keep sending me CD’s with free minutes.

Well there is an option to list a recovery email but it is not required.

As a follow-up to that I had quite many “junk” emails I used to sign up for sites and such. Some of them began their drive to collect more data and started required secondary email or cell #’s.

Almost weeks into that I began getting messages like “we have detected strange activity on your email account”, please confirm the account. Suddenly, a secondary email was not good enough, only a phone confirmation. Accounts I had for 15 years suddenly gone and could not be recovered until I gave them my cell. Never a problem with any of them before companies began being data gluttons.

This happened at aol, yahoo, mail.com, hotmail. So I have started using protonmail exclusively as my free email option.
