Title. You know, for when you need to register somewhere, and you don’t want to provide an actual email for account verification…
Fastmail lets you create masked email addresses. They are randomized and can’t be linked to your main account. Great way to track who sells your email to spammers. You can create a new masked email for each temporary need and tag it. You can also disable them individually, so you stop receiving mail for that fake sddress.
You can’t reply as them
That isn’t true.
Looks like you’re right. They may have updated this since I last tried it.
If you use bitwarden as your password manager, it can also auto generate those for you when creating a login
I use simplelogin.io
Do you want to return to that account?
If not, Temp mail works fine.
Also, Bug me not has user-submitted usernames + passwords to services. This works nicely.
I’ve used Port87 in the past. The user who created it promoted the service on lemmy initially. It worked (I paid for a few months).
Firefox Relay is meant for this. It can create a new mask in a single click, and it will forward emails to your actual address as long as you have it enabled. I’m not sure if you can send emails, but that’s rarely needed.
I’m not sure how (or really, if) they keep their domain (mozmail I think?) from being blocked by websites as a source of spam.
For anyone on iOS or MacOS, there’s Hide My EMail built into iCloud services. It generates an email address and automatically sets up forwarding to your iCloud account. You can add notes to remind you what it’s for. You can disable an address at anytime in the iCloud settings.
The problem is that you can’t send from Hide My Email, except in a reply.
I use it a lot but if I think that I’ll need to contact by email by the HME address, I use one of my AppleID aliases.
Firefox has that feature built in, no?
If you setup Firefox Relay first.
10 minute mail
Addy.io, proton simplelogin, … give you one time email addresses
I use Fastmail.
