    Yes, I understand how email aliasing works. Again, how is that more private than a username?

      I don’t see a claim of it being more private than a username. Perhaps the person you’re arguing with views them as equally private, or is thinking of services that require some form of contact info. I can’t speak for them.

        It’s right here:

        For 2FA, per-account email addresses and authenticor apps are the best approach for privacy.

        I can’t speak for them.

        But you just did.
