Those who surf the Internet often and enjoy trying new services or applications that require registration, it is always necessary to provide their email address. For the most popular services, providing the real email address is recommended because in case of problems you can always recover access and receive a new password via email. For other services, however, it can be a problem to always provide your email address because you can never be sure how it will be used and protected or if it will be sold to advertising agencies.
subscribing to too many online services can be one of the reasons why spam messages arrive in the Email box.
To protect yourself there are several solutions including one, rather interesting that allows you to hide your real address, generating random email addresses to be used for registrations on various sites or for newsletters.
The Trashmail service is free for everyone and automatically generates an email address for each new service you want to subscribe to. This keeps your primary email account safe because it is covered by this newly generated address. Compared to other similar services, messages sent to that address created specifically for registration, are turned and received in your main mailbox. However, this can be deactivated at any time, therefore, if spam should arrive or if you no longer wish to receive messages from the service to which you have subscribed, simply delete it or put it on pause.
To create an automatically generated email address for any service, in Google Chrome install the Trashmail extension, click on the icon at the top right and create a new account by providing your real email address. Whenever you want to make a new registration, you can create a new identity and, optionally, associate a nickname or, by pressing customize, the access password used for that site. After pressing the " Save Now " button, the new identity is registered and can be viewed or modified from the list of existing identities. The emails received from the Trashmail address are forwarded to the main address until this forwarding is deactivated in the extension by pressing the Mute key. You can always reactivate an identity if you want to restart receiving emails from that source. Unfortunately, at present, there does not seem to be a way to totally eliminate an identity, but in the end it is not so important.
For the same purpose, you can always create aliases with Yahoo mail or Hotmail or create temporary mail addresses that expire.
