Yes, my plan in the long term is similar. The process will be slow though as of the 705 entries, for various web sites/organisations etc, in my password manager almost all of them have an email address for the username and they do not have a separate field in the account profile for a separate contact email address. Thus it is problematic if an old username/email address is abandoned then the password recovery or even continued usage of that account could become very difficult.
