Separate identities and accounts
One account for everything lets a single breach or mistake expose your whole life. Compartmentalize.
Keep different parts of your life—work, activism, dating, finance—in separate identity containers.
Pick one area to separate first, then create a dedicated email, browser profile, and accounts for it.
Recommended path
Best first move: Pick one area to separate first, then create a dedicated email, browser profile, and accounts for it.
- 1
List your roles
Work, public presence, activism, finance, dating, hobbies—each may deserve a compartment.
- 2
Use separate email aliases
SimpleLogin, AnonAddy, or separate providers reduce cross-linking.
- 3
Browser containers or separate browsers
Use Firefox containers, separate profiles, or different browsers per identity.
- 4
Unique passwords and 2FA
Never reuse passwords. Use a password manager and hardware/software 2FA.
- 5
Mind cross-contamination
Do not log into multiple identities from the same browser session or phone.
Best tools for this
Isolating identities and workflows.
Compartmentalized virtual machines; one identity per qube.
Password manager for unique strong passwords.
Open source, audited, supports self-hosting.
Warnings
One mistake connects compartments
Logging into a work account from your activist browser can link them.
Phone numbers are hard to separate
Many services require SMS; consider VOIP or separate SIMs.
Limitations
More compartments = more maintenance
It is easy to lose access to accounts if you forget which email or password you used.
Devices can still be linked
Using the same device for all compartments may leave traces.
