My Steam and RuneScape accounts are both over 20 years old, and I still use both regularly. Hell, RuneScape is even available via Steam.
As far as the actual oldest account, I think I have an old Yahoo! Mail account from like… Late 1997? Early 1998? Back when AOL was still sending out free demo discs in the mail.
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.
I own a 6 digit steam id (500k).
I ain't much but it's honest work.
I guess technically that'd be the email account at my employer where I started some decades ago. Before Google and their Gmail was a thing, anyway. Or, livejournal, I guess. ...MySpace... Oof, AOL... Usenet, maybe...
Gah. I'm old.
Yahoo mail. Although I did literally just delete it off my phone because it was complaining that I didn't check my SPAM messages frequently enough.
Yahoo. It was from 07
Wikipedia user account from 2002.
AOL, 2001
Apparently there are dozens of us still using Hotmail. 24 years strong!
Hotmail is what I use to sign up to things that I don't want to get emails from
Probably my google account. I'd look up the exact age but then I'd feel old.
I guess technically my KOL. account.
Here's a question for everyone who's old enough, what is KOL and what happens to it when you turn a certain age? I've yet to meet or hear of anyone knowing this answer.
Steam Acc from 2005 and YouTube from 2006
Easily my /. account, using it daily since 1997 or something
I have an eBay account from 2000 or so, and my email is nearly as old I believe.
I don’t use the eBay account all that often now, but on and off throughout the years. Last used last year.
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.
Gotta be my RuneScape account from 2006. Thanks to OSRS being a thing, I still play on it.
GitHub account since 2008. I think I started to use Gmail around that time, but I do not use that at all anymore.
Email from 2001
Year one Steam account, even has a unique profile badge. It's a little over 20 years old. I only made it because I bought a copy of CS: Condition Zero, and it was needed to play online.
1996 Hotmail. Created as a throwaway with no link to my work. Still working as a spam dump.
lol same with one of my yahoo addresses.
My Discord account, which I've had since the early 2020's.
E-mail account circa 1994.
EDIT: I just checked. My Amazon account goes back to 1995 for a solid second place.
Not sure when I started my Gmail, but I've been using the same Xbox account since 2009.
Nope! Scratch that. I started my Blizzard account to play WoW around 2005! Still use it for Hearthstone now.
I still use the same gmail I made when I was 10, roughly 2005-ish.
Yahoo email account I opened in 1997.
