Your answer showed me how insignificant my question is. And I don't mean that in a sarcastic or demeaning manner. It's just a fact. So thank you! :) (And happy holidays.) Tough maybe there's one small issue: your personal data (date of birth, home address, real name etc.) is stored in these 100+ accounts. I mean don't you mind a potential data breach?

For those retailer accounts that don't offer guest logins, I would immediately request a deletion of my account. For the other accounts like Visual Studio C++, I just use a throwaway email address and enter fake information.

Why would you think that?

If a site has no need for my date of birth, but demands one anyway, it gets a fake date.

If a site has no need for address, but demands it anyway (other than for shopping sites obviously), it too gets fake data.

Same with real name. If it has no need (i.e. it is just some account to 'read comments' or some such) then that is fake as well.

Just because a site asks for datapoint X, does not mean you have to turn over datapoint X to the site.

All of the data points you reference (date of birth, home address, real name) are all essentially public information, so, no. And for sites that received fake data, no, don't care in the least there.
