I'm a big fan of privacy.com. It lets you create an unlimited number of "burner" credit cards, that can have monetary limits, frequency limits, can be paused and unpaused at will, can be one-time-only use, and can't be used at places other than where you made the initial transaction. You have to link a bank account to your privacy account for funding the cards, but I have a burner, free checking account for that. They are also great for free-trials that start charging you after the trial period -- oops, transaction denied. I don't use it for everything since my regular cards have cashback bonuses, but I certainly use it on places I'm not familiar with or I don't trust their security. It has saved my ass more than once.

I've used Gmail since it was invitation-only and hosted my own domains with google mail when it was still in beta and have no plans or desire to change.

Yes, Gmail supports POP3 & IMAP, and I've used all the major email clients, but I truly prefer the Gmail web interface. Enable and learn the keyboard shortcuts and I can navigate & get thru my email far faster than any client I've ever seen. It's portable no matter which computer I'm using and there are excellent apps for Apple & Android, so I can use any phone or tablet. I've experienced very little downtime, and those don't last very long; no extended outages like you are experiencing.

I'm a retired Linux/Unix sysadmin, and I've hosted my own email in the old days, but that is far too much work and time for domains that only myself and my wife use. I have NO desire to put my life on hold and spend hours/days working on my servers(s) every time a vulnerability like log4j is discovered. I also have NO desire to go back to a clunky email client. And even if I did run my own servers, that means I'd have to rely on a hosting service for my virtual machines, and hosting companies can have the same problems as any email hosting company.

This still doesn't answer my original question. Are passwords required? That would be my biggest concern if I had to fill out the form. Maybe it's not possible to answer this yet, giving the available information? Are the actual forms available yet?

Otherwise, there are a lot more issues that I mentioned, for sure. i.e. I own multiple domains setup for email. Since they have "catch-all" addresses, I theoretically have an almost infinite number of email addresses (but not email accounts, huh, wonder how it's worded...). How about someone with a single gmail address? Since gmail ignores periods, those people have a whole bunch of email address, but just one account. Details! :-)

Is it just email addresses and social media user names? Or the PASSWORDS to all accounts too?

I'd be fine with the first. Passwords would cause all kinds of problems. Besides the obvious security risks if they're not handled correctly, there are technical issues too. I have two step authentication turned on for most of mine, so just passwords wouldn't do any good. Plus some passwords are required to be changed periodically (does the gov need to be updated?).

Not to mention the entire thing is stupid because people have time to delete their questionable posts/comments/emails before turning over their "details".

I've had similar problems. One thing you can do is to create filters to send emails from those sites you don't use directly to trash. Or unsubscribe if you get repeated emails from a mailing list. With a little work, you should be able to clean up your inbox.

I'd also take measures to make sure he can't log into your Gmail account. Change your password to something very strong and turn on two-factor authentication.

With all the warrantless border searches happening, I wondered the same thing recently. Then I thought of another solution that would do the same thing. Something that is already built into smartphones.

I have my iphone set to wipe after 10 invalid attempts. So the next time I cross the border, I'm going to enter 9 invalid attempts before I arrive at the border crossing. If ask for my passcode, I'll supply an invalid code; bam it's wiped first try!

My ISP doesn't offer IPv6 yet, so wanting to try it anyway I set out on a mission to get IPv6 running on my home network.

Since I had been running DD-WRT on my Linksys router/WAP, I thought would be easy. Upgrading to the latest version of DD-WRT, I learned that most of the editions don't support IPv6, so I had to change to the VoIP version of DD-WRT to get IPv6 support. After that I ran into many DD-WRT related problems and bugs. There is a very annoying problem with Dnsmasq cutting out, radvd doesn't start upon boot when you check the box (so I had to add a custom start command), there is no GUI way to configure static IPv6 leases, ip6tables isn't included in any DD-WRT build, and the web interface dies and won't restart after running a few days (although the router keeps running okay) -- just a general DD-WRT problem not IPv6 specific.

I ended up scraping DD-WRT as my router (WAP only now), and setup a real Linux box as my firewall/router. That was much easier and fighting with DD-WRT.

Maybe OpenWRT is better, and I may try that someday.

I can't see either DD-WRT or a custom Linux firewall as an option for upgrading the general masses to IPv6. The big ISP's (and their tech support people) are going to have some serious work ahead of them! :-)
