I noticed a shitload of sign in attempts on my account from all kinds of countries. Outlook/Live/Microsoft email lets you set an email alias, and then you can sign in with that alias. Then people don't know your sign in information.

Gmail doesn't appear to offer the same thing(they have email aliases but you don't sign into Gmail with them).

Interesting! Pairing it with a password manager like bitwarden is a good idea. You can use random characters so if your details are leaked somehow it's less obvious what service it's for.
