Public Burner Email

andrewteg

This community has been great so I wanted to share a service I've recently been using that allows you to use a public email address @mailinator.com

Email is sent to it and anyone can view it at https://www.mailinator.com for a limited time. It seems useful if a show is requiring email to create an account but you're concerned about privacy and your real email getting out more, so I thought I'd share here in case it can help anyone else be more private online.

andrewteg do not use public email addresses for any kind of account, abuse is a huge issue with hijacked accounts.

... would it not be better to just use services like Addy.io and SimpleLogin?

For quick temporary accounts I usually use guerrillamail.com, which gives you a temporary private inbox (doesn't require JS to work, in contrast to most other similar websites I found).
