I went in to delete mine. Was forced to put in my real name and current employer without any way to opt out. So for a short brilliant moment I was Bobo Bobolicious of Bob’s Boat Oars

    Its a long journey, but totally worth it. When I chose to go fully self-hosted, I had around 1,200 accounts and passwords. First I used a temporary fake emailnsite to change my email and all the personal data I could from all the sites I wanted out of my life, then closed each account. Did a checkout wherever I could too. Then went into each account I wanted to keep where I was using a gmail address, changed my email to an alias (proton mail) and created a new random password for each (Bitwarden self-hosted). I’m down to about 100 accounts, including everything in my 2 jobs. The level of freedom I feel is unspeakable.

        https://temp-mail.org/en/ That site, bitwarden (self-hosted preferably, but an account with them works too), and you’ve got all the tools you’ll ever want. If you also want to “change” your phone number on the sites you’re leaving (that’s always a good idea as well), you can try https://quackr.io/ but I’m not sure how good it is. I just found that site, and honestly can’t remember what I used for that. All I remember is that it was a free trial of an app for 7 days, and I made sure to finish that before the trial was over. And I’m no sensei, call me Master “4th run of Horizon Zero Dawn” 🤣🤣. Just kidding, I’m just a guy that, like most of is, got tired of all the BS out there these days. I am, though, on my 4th run of that game. Good luck man, you won’t regret doing this.
