More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds – this also encompasses one’s choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account – just come up with a username, and off you go – however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique, and non-identifiable username can become a challenge. I would argue that poeple would often resort to using a pattern employing small changes for all subsequent usernames. Such patterns can be identified to a specific user if all users have their own unique patterns.

How can one reliably generate many unique-but-normal, and non-pattern-identifiable usernames?

      Does it? As far as I can tell, the only option is for a random word, which isn’t really the same.

          Yeah, the lastpass one does random letters with options such as being pronouncable.

            That’s good, I just wouldn’t give lastpass the privilege of taking out my trash at this point.
