Semikart's data has been leaked/stolen in the last few weeks. I've been receiving crypto scam emails on the disposable email I used exclusively for it.

I like your approach of disposable email, but instead of disposable I want it to be a regular email. So each service will be registered with distinct email. Is there an easy for this? It will be tiring to make new email every time.

I know with gmail we can make multiple emails by just adding +sometext at the end. But this still exposes our primary email.

proton mail lets you do this, you can have multiple email aliases.. yahoo too, but lately they are very stringent about t&c avoid if possible.

I use Firefox Relay for this, They provide 5 aliases that you can map to your email address. Try that. another option is https://addy.io/

I found that outlook provides you 10 aliases free + one primary email, can be upgraded to 400 with microsoft subscription, good thing is you can make completely distinct emails all under one password, unlike gmail where you use +sometext and it exposes your primary email.

There are some restrictions on creation and deletion of aliases, 2 per week I think and within a year you can make maximum of 10 aliases.

Outlook seems to check all boxes. You can add your already existing emails too. I underestimated outlook.

Good idea to organize your emails
- Socials
- Forums
- Banking
- Shopping
- services
- Disposable, do not care bucket.

plus other categories.

I wish I had done this isolation earlier.

You can use a single email address with multiple aliases, i used to use it for testing emails :) . Basically all you need to do is <Email>+<Sitename>@Email.com . So example like Rover1312+semikart@gmail.com this will let u know if email is leaked from semikart o

For websites that cut the + section off your email or disallow this to go through you can also put a . anywhere in your email and it will still work. As an example pota.to@gmail will still go to potato@gmail. You can use this for the grand majority of websites still so try different things until it works!Just play around with different variants and see what you can get back. This stuff is also nice for email filtering as it's easy to sort and organize incoming emails with tags like this.

your text reminded me immediately of THOR

So you're telling me badwhitevision@gmail.com, bad.whitevision@gmail.com & badwhite.vision@gmail.com all go to the same address?

My IRL name was unavailable in Gmail and I had to add a . between my first and last name. If this is the case, then I wonder why my IRL name wasn't available?

Apologies, we are going off topic.

logistopath if you could please clean up the thread.

Thank you.

yes, and oh its not just limited to ''+'' , '' .'' each website, each email service probably have their own set of symbols which they allow and disallow. for some more info, +ves and -ves, you can check the comments under the video i shared above.

A small nudge from k660 (Thank you) made my lazy ass try "firstlastname@gmail.com" instead of "first.lastname@gmail.com" and the email was correctly routed to my inbox.

Hence confirmed.
