I am in a number of different slack orgs. With one email address, I join whatever org I want.

> I have multiple email addresses and don't use a specific one every time... I just can't remember which email address I [use]

I think I see the problem. I'm not sure how this approach allows you to function on the internet at all.

I have had a personal email, two school emails (undergrad + grad), and three work emails (internships). Most of the Slack orgs I'm a part of restrict access to emails from a specific domain (@university.edu, @company.com), so each account is associated with at least one Slack org. It's a mess, and it's because of poor design by Slack. I should have a "master" Slack account where I can list all the email addresses that I own, giving me access to all the associated orgs.
That's great as long as whomever is inviting you doesn't have password requirements (aka no gmail etc...) which some of them do.

For example I have three slack channels: 1. Our Company 2. 500 Startups 3. The information

Each had different requirements so they all needed a different handle - even if I was using the same email.

It should be Single Sign On.
