My Google accounts have been around for a couple of decades now, my Microsoft account about the same amount of time.

Though actually I think the Xbox live part of my account predates the rest of it—iirc they weren't originally linked.

My steam account is about the same age too come to think of it, I remember getting it before hl2 was released

eBay and Amazon are older too actually, maybe made those back in 2002/2003

Does my online banking count? I've potentially had that even longer

[–] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

YouTube account, since 2009.

[–] SloppyPuppy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

My gmail address with my exact full name I registered about 18 years ago by invite only.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago

I got my Gmail in 2005, and still heavily use it.

I want to run my own email, but I have soo much tied to it that I'm having trouble knowing where to start...

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Wikipedia user account from 2002.

[–] LifeOfChance@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I guess technically my KOL. account.

Here's a question for everyone who's old enough, what is KOL and what happens to it when you turn a certain age? I've yet to meet or hear of anyone knowing this answer.

1996 Hotmail. Created as a throwaway with no link to my work. Still working as a spam dump.

[–] AndrewZabar@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

lol same with one of my yahoo addresses.

[–] Meltrax@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Gotta be my RuneScape account from 2006. Thanks to OSRS being a thing, I still play on it.

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Yahoo. It was from 07

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I have an eBay account from 2000 or so, and my email is nearly as old I believe.

I don’t use the eBay account all that often now, but on and off throughout the years. Last used last year.

Steam Acc from 2005 and YouTube from 2006

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Apparently there are dozens of us still using Hotmail. 24 years strong!

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 3 points 3 months ago

Hotmail is what I use to sign up to things that I don't want to get emails from

[–] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 4 points 3 months ago

GitHub account since 2008. I think I started to use Gmail around that time, but I do not use that at all anymore.

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Year one Steam account, even has a unique profile badge. It's a little over 20 years old. I only made it because I bought a copy of CS: Condition Zero, and it was needed to play online.

[–] windowsphoneguy@feddit.org 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] maryjayjay@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My email is my last name dot com. I've had it for 28 years.

Easily my /. account, using it daily since 1997 or something

[–] ArmokGoB@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

Email from 2001

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 4 points 3 months ago

Probably my google account. I'd look up the exact age but then I'd feel old.

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Soemthingawful forum membership. Joined in 2k2.

[–] hitagi@ani.social 4 points 3 months ago

Maybe my Gmail account. I made it to play Club Penguin. I still use it when signing up for things.

I have some old forum accounts but I don't use them anymore. I also had a Minecraft account from before the Mojang and Microsoft migrations. That's gone now. :(

My League of Legends and Steam accounts are old too.

[–] argarath@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

My first one that I still use is my Hotmail account, but now it's just my spam email, but still randomly have to use it to get some login codes and stuff

[–] thesushicat@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Facebook, 2004. Gmail, 2005. Still use both of those accounts.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure I have a yahoo account rolling around somewhere...

My Discord account, which I've had since the early 2020's.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

E-mail account circa 1994.

EDIT: I just checked. My Amazon account goes back to 1995 for a solid second place.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Not sure when I started my Gmail, but I've been using the same Xbox account since 2009.

Nope! Scratch that. I started my Blizzard account to play WoW around 2005! Still use it for Hearthstone now.

[–] Sarothazrom@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I still use the same gmail I made when I was 10, roughly 2005-ish.
