These days, most of us have two email addresses that we use frequently online: one for home, and one for work. Our professional email addresses will change every few years as we move from job to job – but you’re likely to use the same personal email address for years – maybe even a decade or more!
Both personal and work email addresses are our “home base” when we connect online. Your email address is a primary way to receive messages from people and businesses. An email address is also the one piece of contact information you most frequently share with services as you shop and bank. In fact, most of our online activity requires signing up for accounts and logging in, so your email address inevitably gets shared far and wide on the web.
