YSK: If a website says your email is already in use use the password reset option instead of creating another account.
Why YSK: A lot of people assume they never made an account and end up creating a second one with another email that can split purchases, subscriptions or saved data across multiple accounts. I ran into this a few days ago while I was on my laptop I wanted to sign up for a service I hadn't used in years it kept saying my email already existed and I was about to register with a different address before trying the password reset option.
It turned out I had made the account years ago and completely forgot about it everything I'd previously saved was still there. Trying a password reset first can save you from managing multiple accounts losing access to old purchases or confusing yourself later so it's a small step that can save a lot of hassle.
