Wait, so my gmail address--the one I registered with--is firstname.lastname; does this mean that anything addressed to firstnamelastname (without the period) will still route to me? It must, right?

Eta: I appreciate all the useful info! For ages I've kept the same three active gmail accounts: one personal, one business/"official", and one for subscriptions, lists, throw-away sign-ups, etc. The lines are starting to blur, though; these tips will help reorganize. Thanks everyone.

Yes. So you could sign up for websites using either iteration, you’ll receive emails all the same. But I would recommend sticking with one to sign up for websites or you’ll have to play the “which one is my sign in address” game like me.

Use a password manager. Bitwarden integrates with services such as SimpleLogin to create an alias and forward the email. I use one called SimpleLogin.
