Is this new, or have online accounts never offered the ability to update your email address easily?

    Yeah, anything handling sensitive data (medical, legal, financial, etc) absolutely needs stringent and thorough processes for completely changing login information (i.e. email address). But random superfluous websites I use for entertainment or socializing? Get outta here.

      Hardware-based 2fa would be nice, but it seems that these same organizations are among the only which DON’T have hardware-based 2fa and insist on texting codes, instead.

      None of them actually take security seriously, even through all of them should be!
