Comment on I stole the data in millions of people’s Google accounts

Comments

I think that these days it is safe to assume that one could always be locked out of their google account for whatever reason. It is best practice to simply create a local account with whatever app/service that one wants to use.

I personally use an email with a custom domain which I pay for so I am relatively secure of keeping access to my email address. Moreover, I use a local password manager to store all my passwords. This setup is a bit of a pain but it is also liberating as I am not at the mercy of any third party when I am transacting with a service.

Exactly, there is no reason to use single sign on when Keepass + some cloud storage has you covered.
