Most people don't know their email address will expire after a year or whatever If you use a phone app like blue mail, samsung or some other third party email client for your email, it may not count as signing in to your email account on some email services.

In addition, do you remember all the services and online retailers you used your email address for over the years? I sure don't. What if you used your email address on an account where you also entered your credit card info and that site subscribes to the credit card service where your card auto updated. You no longer use the email address but your card is still being updated. Then your email address is assigned to someone else. They would have access to your account by doing the forget password thing and am able to make purchases on your card. And before you say ask how would they know? A lot of retail sites will remind you that you have an account if you try to create a new one with your email address. Coincidences happen.

yep, meta got a lot of free press over this, in addition to the normal articles. Everyone knows that demos do not always as planned. I have the same issue since whenever I want to show off my smart home, it almost always pick that time to act up. Just got to grin and bear it, then move on.

It is to the point where I will refuse to open any external emails or click on any links in any emails, even when from Microsoft teams. The company will punish those that fails their tests. Then they get mad at me for not reading some of their emails or attachments. In the end, it is a no-win situation for both the company and their employees
