It’s hard to think of email as something you might need in an emergency. Still, it’s true: You may have to recover another online account, and you might be sent (for example) a password reset link, a one-time password, a verification code, etc. In those cases, you need your email account to be easily accessed and quickly show you incoming mail. For this reason, choosing an email address matters a great deal. Above all else, you need to have a reliable email account that you can get assistance with if something should go wrong with it.
