If you're a vendor, maybe that could be a problem if they also get your password.

Also, I've embraced a general lack of privacy in favor or convenience.

My email address is my first name and last name @ gmail.com... which happens to be the address I used to register here. I also have the .com domain for my first and last name. That links to my LinkedIn which has even more info I've made public. I let Google know my location. Google also saves all of my CC info for fast checkout. Etc. Etc.

The odds of all that blowing up in my face? Like .000000001% if I don't do something really stupid like give out of SSN and a photo of my drivers license.
