I also highly recommended using a temporary email for signing up for stuff whenever possible.

This is the worst security advice I have ever heard. Now someone doesn’t even need to get your password, just your email and they can just use the temporary email provider to reset your password?

I assume the temporary email is meant for non personal affairs, to not share any important information, like your personal email address.
