Does it make sense to have separate emails for each individual financial account (banking, credit cards) or is that overkill? I’m just thinking that if a hacker got access to one email they’d have all account information?

    I might actually recommend it for anything except financials. For some things, your email address is the only way to access or recover things on the account.

    I want something very stable as my email address for such cases, because I don’t want to risk my email alias provider shutting down, or my self hosted setup to randomly die. Or even some weird “security measure” where the bank decides that any unknown domain is no longer ok.

      You’ve used some phrasing that I am not really following. What exactly do you mean by “stable” in regards to an email address? And what is an “unknown” domain?
