Comment on Spotify and Facebook: Is that phishing?parent

True, but those services are quite limited and not that secure in that anybody who knows the email address can login to your account.

Not necessarily. They also give you a “gibberish” address to the account. So if I use “foobar” as my mailbox on mailinator, they will list an address like M8R-wk43th@mailinator too, that does not let people log in.
