Ask Lemmy

I still use a Yahoo account I created back in 95 (I think, it might be a little later).

My fark account is old enough to drive in the US. I don't think I really use much of anything that old anymore.

I had facebook from the time when it still required a .edu email, though I quit that. I lost access to my hotmail account years ago after dropping it in favor of gmail. I had IRC accounts going back into the '90s, but I almost never use IRC anymore (and certainly not on those same networks (assuming they even still exist)).

I have an email address and shell account on a SCO UNIX system that I've had since 1994.

Strangely, the oldest thing I have left is a web hosting account by Strato that I opened around 1999. My dad still uses an e-mail adress he got with his first T-Online account when the internet became available for normal households in Germany in the mid-90s.

Maybe Battle.Net. I might request my account data just to see the creation date now.

Oldest accounts would be AIM and Hotmail had I held onto them. Some friends still use their old Hotmail email and take a lot of crap for it. I still remember my Hotmail password. It was four letters.

Then came FB, Gmail, and Steam all around the same time. I still use Gmail and Steam every day. FB not so much.

DNS reseller account I made 15 years ago. Transferred it to my corp a few years ago and still buy all my domains there.

I made my steam account in 2003 and my hotmail address is even older. Likely 2002. Its almost time for my 15 year pin in CS.

it was kongregate i believe until that site got basically shut down

its still up and running, but the forums are gone and the chat rooms are gone

Facebook, 2004. Gmail, 2005. Still use both of those accounts.

I made my email account 28 years ago, and still use it daily.

Possibly my Hotmail, although I'm not 100% sure when I opened it, and I converted it to an Outlook email when that became an option.

Most of the sites I used to use have shut down or migrated to new systems, so my oldest account is most likely my ModTheSims account opened in 2008. I do still use it whenever I'm in the mood for some Sims 2 retail therapy.

I made my AOL mail account in 2006 and still use it. I don't use it as my primary email anymore, but I have hundreds of accounts tied to it

My hotmail account.

Signed up for it in the closed beta way before Microsoft bought it, was fucking pissed when they did.

It's my 2fa for most of my games and the emergency email for my other emails.

I opened my first Gmail account during the private beta (2004). It's not my daily driver account, but I still use it for government stuff like taxes and healthcare. It kinda blows my mind that it's 20 years old.

Probably my yahoo mail account. I've mostly transitioned off it, but a few things still come to it and it predates even my gmail account (which I barely ever use either). Apple ID's Hide My Email ability has basically rendered all the other ones pointless though since I can just generate a new fake email address whenever I want to register for something fishy. I wish phone numbers worked the same way.

My first one that I still use is my Hotmail account, but now it's just my spam email, but still randomly have to use it to get some login codes and stuff

Maybe my Gmail account. I made it to play Club Penguin. I still use it when signing up for things.

I have some old forum accounts but I don't use them anymore. I also had a Minecraft account from before the Mojang and Microsoft migrations. That's gone now. :(

My League of Legends and Steam accounts are old too.

Soemthingawful forum membership. Joined in 2k2.

Bank account is first, use it everyday. Second would be apple id.

Nothing really, I try to switch account and delete old ones every now and again. My oldest account is my bank account.

I joined a forum about 30 years ago, and I am still a regular. I can't say the exact date I joined, nor can the forum admins, as things like that were not tracked back then. Even them having my email was a way later add-on.

Gmail since 2002 or something. Steam account if emails don't count.

Edit: Wow account could be older than steam account. I honestly can't remember.

Edit2: Yep, wow account is a 4 years older than my steam. Turns out I lost my first steam account that did not really have any games on it and instead of recovering it I just registered a new one. Doing this research of my own history was a questionable use of my evening but apparently necessary to get it out of my head.

eBay is my oldest, not sure when exactly, 2001-2002-2003 something like that.

Next is my Something Awful forums account from 2005.

My gmail address with my exact full name I registered about 18 years ago by invite only.

A four letter .com domain name I registered in 2003. Supposedly worth $5000-6000 presently.

Or my eBay account I’ve had since 2001.
