Sure there is. It's yet another account to maintain/protect which probably find itself compromised at some point. Sure, there are tools to manage all these accounts, but it's still not free, and frankly I already have too many accounts for things that I don't really want. If you ever lose access to the e-mail address/domain you're using for all these things, updating them all will be a giant pain in the ass, and there's no tool for that. -- Derek D.
