I think I'll get a new email address thats 1 letter and 128 numbers. Is that more secure for you?

Perfect.

Now it depends on the the person you have sent your CV to and their understanding of the security climate of the internet.
With this in mind he may give it a look and ask questions rather than totally disregard if the CV shows a good candidate.

That was hard?

Copy and pasting an email is hard?

In any case the behavior of the recruiting process gives great insight into how the company is run.

When the company has no better rules than disregard overly incomprehensible email addresses... then it shows how they would handle more complex tasks and have also not tried to problem solve at all with any reasoning or logic.

Why is is not the company? It's literally the front door.

The person who is interviewing you won't care about the security of the internet....they are there to see if you fit the job role.

You can even go in for a tech security officer role and they would laugh at you for using an email address like that. Using an email address that length is not for security what so ever.

Do you actually realise that using [email protected] is no secure than using

Yes, the internet security thing is breadth of knowledge, highly intelligent people are subject to lesser peoples ignorance, but when they refuse to budge to better problem solvers, they indeed are either stupid or fear a position change or change within a company.
Knowledge is stored memorable information, intellect is processing things on the fly, mental adaptation, problem solving and inquisitiveness.

Change password, enable 2FA using Google Auth.

Don’t use text message 2FA, a simple sim swap can bypass that.

Intelligence is dA:/dt, and its 3 term ratios are G: & M: & R:. What is A?

then it doesn't work as the value would be positive no matter if the adaption is postive or negative as its a derivative of a rate of change over time.
If A was acceleration it would be a measurement of the amount of jerk for example.

You don't currently have a job, do you.
