Email aliases
One address per site. Leaks become traceable, spam becomes switch-off-able, and your accounts get harder to link together.
1 · Choose an alias service
Check current plansAn alias service gives you a separate address for every site and forwards mail to your real inbox. If a site leaks or sells it, you know who did it and can turn that one address off. The service itself sees the mail it forwards, so choose one you trust. Plans and limits change — check each service's site for current details.
