Yes, I realize how much hate I will get for this. I don't give a shit. Seethe away, kids.

using a throwaway email for any accounts you actually use

When I say "throwaway," I don't mean "I forgot about it, and I no longer have access to it, and I picked a really stupid name and password."

I mean: "this is not the same email that I use to do my primary banking and contact my grandmother."

I have two-factor authentication set up for everything that supports it. I just looked it up, and PSN supports it. Yes, that doesn't mean it's immune to being hacked, but my use of a "throwaway" email address doesn't do ANYTHING to increase the odds of my account being hacked, for anything.

If you won't admit that, I don't care to discuss this with you, any further.

That's an even bigger pain in the ass than creating a throwaway account. At least throwaway would've been two second and forget it, now you're having to create an actual account.

No thanks.
