You're using a password manager right? Just iterate through the entries in your password manager updating.
Can vouch for this method, I did something similar and just updated my email on services in order of my entries in password manager.
The email I use for random website sign-up’s is an ancient hotmail account that I only check when I’m expecting a specific email. It’s like thousands of spam messages.
The more important things using my actual email are comparatively small.
Look into the temp mail browser add-on.
Yes I do. Although many sites simply wont let you change it. I will still have to try and change as many as I can
Could you give me an example of a mainstream website that doesn't let you update your email?
It's been years since I used stubhub but that is one site that didn't allow me to change it out. I lost access to that email but it's irrelevant now anyways since I charged back them on their COVID shenanigans, I'm sure that account is blocked now.
I think it might be difficult if you used oauth to create the account. In most cases your account will just continue to be tied to that oauth provider.
Sites that allow signup with oauth almost always have an option to change to traditional login with username/password
You can create a new account with email, yes. Transferring to another oauth provider or to classic email login is not something you can easily do.
Ryanair and wizzair websites won't let you change email
