I used Google as my primary authentication for over a decade, because I thought it's more likely that I will forget to pay my domain or my email service and lose access to my digital identity.

But about five years ago, I asked myself: What if it's more likely that I will get locked out of my account on Google? I'm not paying them anything, and they're impossible to come into contact with.

I also lost access to Minecraft because of the Microsoft acquisition.
