Hey all, since the past few days I’ve been diving deep into this topic of privacy. Since the past 3-4 years I’ve carelessly created random email accounts and logged into tons of websites, services using these accounts like social media, PayPal, Amazon, courses, subscriptions, online banking, downloading software’s, and other tons of stuff. Most of them have similar passwords

I don’t even remember which service is linked to which email. Many of them have my first and last name . All are Gmail

I use all Apple products- so one of those emails is my Apple ID

I’m quite paranoid and literally want to clean up this entire mess.

How to get started?

Shall I delete all the google accounts and start over completely?

If so then how many emails should I have? 4?

What about my Apple ID?

I’m so confused and paranoid. I want to sort this mess out quick

I’m just looking for a practical way to maximise security. Not looking for something crazy as I know nothing in today’s world can be 100% private online.

Just wanna be as safe as possible.

Would love recommendations. Thank you🙏🏻
