That isn't really so annoying though - use the same username you do everywhere else, use the same password (click supergenpass so it doesn't matter if the site gets hacked) and make your browser remember it.

Because there sure as shit isn't any way I will just give some random website my google account - they get a dummy email forward, just like everybody else.

Same username? That's assuming it's still available. If it isn't ? Then you have to remember a one-off username. Also, I do not use the same password for all web sites. That's the most basic security FAIL. If someone figures out your password, then all your accounts are compromised. This is the worst security advice ever. I'm sorry - but you know this is true.

Yes - I also do the dummy email forward. I agree about not giving random sites your google account. So create a dummy google account.
