Do you need to provide an email address to sign up for a website or service, but don’t want to reveal your personal email address or receive spam emails? If so, you need a 10 minute email service. A 10 minute email service provides you with a disposable email address that you can use for a specific purpose and then discard. The email address is valid for 10 minutes by default, but can be extended to 100 minutes if necessary.

The email address is randomly generated and cannot be traced back to you. Once the email address expires, any emails sent to it are no longer accessible. This way, you can protect your privacy and avoid spam.

    I’ve been using https://simplelogin.io for this. Paid for premium and I think it’s well worth it. You don’t want to use an email that will disappear in a few days if you need to actually receive mail from whatever service you’re signing up for.

      Another Simple Login user here. Been using for years now, and since the partnership(?) with Proton, it’s included with my membership which is great.

      I love simple login. Before that I needed to handle multiple email accounts if I didn’t want to expose my main email.
