Isn't this flaw inherent in most/all SSO/OAuth? Good reason to reject that, and another reason why abandonment of OpenID was such a shame.

This is why the "privacy" elements of Sign-in With Apple are broken; in exchange for limited privacy, Apple owns your account, and without them, there's no way to recover it. twitter.com/FortniteStatus…

Yes, I always go out of the way to avoid it. I use a throwaway email unique to the site when I'm not making an account meant to clearly be me. If it's a throwaway account with nothing sensitive, I don't bother having control over the email myself and use a public temp one.

gmailnator.com is nice for true throwaway accounts where you have no attachment to it and it's fine that there's no real security, etc. It's how I deal with anything that forces making an account unnecessarily. Can just make a completely new one next time around too.
