I used to have one email address, it's my full name and birth year. After quite a few years, I decided I needed another email that would fit better on forms and be easier to say aloud. So I created a new email, which is part of my name and a number. Now, after many years of living with both of these email addresses, I'm trying to be more secure on the internet (Thanks to podcasts like Reply All) and get a password manager, to make my online life safer and easier.

​

Is the best course of action to move all my accounts to the short email address and use the long one for verification? Should I try to keep the old email? if so, how do I deal with needing to sign on to an online account on a new computer and try to remember which email/password combo I used? Where should I look for these answers?
