My email spam dropped from 60 a day to 4 after I did one thing, but now I'm wondering if it was worth it
About 8 months ago I finally turned on two factor on my main email and started using a password manager, and within 3 weeks my junk mail went from around 60 a day down to 4. I also stopped getting those fake "your package is waiting" texts, which was the whole reason I did it. But now I'm locked out of two old accounts I never updated, and I had to spend 2 hours on the phone with my bank because I lost the backup codes. So my question is, is 2FA and a password manager really worth the hassle for a regular person, or are you just trading spam for lockouts? What did you all do about old accounts you forgot about?
