Ask HN: What tool would you buy to make your life easier?
Could be anything - dev tools, blogging platforms, SaaS... Mine would be some (hypothetical) way of making it so I could see what accounts I had with any given service (Trello, GitHub, etc), what signin methods they used (password, social, etc), and could merge/rename/delete accounts and signin methods without going through tedious confirmation processes or support tickets. Something about having a fragile web of interconnected user/password combos and email accounts makes me anxious whenever I think about it or create a new account somewhere. Almost every service I've used seems to make big assumptions behind the scenes about what to do when someone invites you to a team using email, for example, and you already have an account using GitHub signin - so you end up having either two different accounts or merged accounts when you don't want to.
