The problem is not saving my data, it's losing access to the email account. I have hundreds of accounts like trading, social media, forums, GitHub, media, etc, which require access to my email account for 2FA. If I lose access to my email accounts, I lose access to those accounts. Some might be recoverable with a lot of effort, but many would be gone forever.


I understand, it is a horrible risk, the only answer is to get your own domain and then use an email service routed through that domain. Your ability to control your domain records should be modifiable even if your email provider is down.
