Ask HN: Anyone else constantly forget which SSO service they signed up with?

Curious if anyone else finds it increasingly difficult to play "SSO roulette" when logging into the long tail of infrequently-used services: did I use GitHub? Facebook? G Suite? Twitter? Or the secondary problem: "if I used Google SSO, which of my gmail accounts did I use?" I definitely have my own heuristics (g suite for everything possible, github for "technical" sites, facebook as a throwaway, etc), but I've found myself increasingly "getting it wrong." Not to mention this is worsened by the fact that some sites automatically create a new account for you if you log in with a non-existing account: this means you often end up creating a NEW account, further screwing yourself over. Anyone have any good hacks to solve this? I've started resorting to storing a blank 1Password entry even for sites I SSO with, simply stating the SSO account and email I used.
