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

Some data brokers filter those out. Use an email alias forwarding service such as SimpleLogin. Bonus is you can turn off that email box if it gets sold and no longer receive email.

I'd aim for 7.5%. Give yourself some room for errors. This also assumes that you are saving the money.

Apparently Eufy is sending data off to cloud servers. In going Unifi if they ever come back in stock.

I just wish people wouldn't buy the Amazon ones, they let the police look at any video they want and Jeff Bezos doesn't need any more yachts. Eufy makes a nice one that doesn't send the video off to some cloud server.

First, external lighting that is motion activated. Make sure all of your windows lock properly. Worse case is Amazon sells a window lock that clips on. For your doors, if you can not account for all keys, either replace the lock or have a locksmith rekey it. Most break-ins happen through the front door by kicking it in. Replace the hinge screws with long screws that go into the door frame stud. Same with the strike plates. They also make strike plates that are longer and connect both the door knob and deadbolt. Reduce spots that can be used to hide while breaking in. The goal is to make your house look harder to break into than your neighbors. An alarm sign also helps. The actual alarm is optional.

You kind of need to start over. When you do, use a Forwarded Email Alias service. They generate a random email address and forward it to your main account. The one I like is called SimpleLogin, and it integrates with Bitwarden Password Manager. The tip the OP posted and using + addresses some data brokers filter out.
