Secret Email Account Can Fail, Too!

Tom wrote in, "I remember Patrick saying something about having a secret email account for security purposes. I wonder if he could go into that a bit more. I'm thinking this might be an account that one would use for banks, but what else I'm not sure. Would you use it for your Amazon account or other accounts where you spend money?" Patrick explains the idea... then reveals the big flaw in his Secret Email plan in the video!
