An email alias for every store you shop at
Give each retailer its own throwaway-feeling address that actually forwards order confirmations to your real inbox. When one starts spamming, disable that alias — your other shopping accounts keep working.
Free tier: 10 aliases, basic forwarding, no credit card. Plenty for your top retailers.
Why per-retailer aliases beat one shared inbox
One alias per retailer
Amazon gets one address, Etsy gets another, that one-off Shopify store gets a third. If any of them sells your email or gets breached, the spam lands on one alias — not your real inbox.
Disable a noisy retailer in one click
Found yourself unsubscribing from the same store every week? Disable the alias instead. Mail to it bounces forever; their daily newsletters stop reaching you immediately. No "please reconsider" survey to fight through.
Order confirmations still arrive
Every receipt, shipping notification, and order status update is forwarded to your real inbox like normal email. The retailer only ever sees the alias as your address.
Attribution — find the leaker
When spam starts hitting a specific alias, you know exactly which retailer leaked you. That's information you can act on: never shop there again, or warn friends.
Real shopping scenarios
How regular shoppers use aliases day-to-day.
Amazon / eBay / big marketplaces
Use a fresh alias for each large marketplace. Order confirmations land in your real inbox; if Amazon's marketing emails ever get out of hand, disable the alias and shop logged-out for one-shot items.
Niche / one-time-purchase stores
That obscure Shopify store you only buy from once for a birthday gift? Use a throwaway alias for the order. When the inevitable promotional emails start six months later, kill the alias.
Loyalty programs / brand newsletters
Sephora Insider, Nike, REI, your local coffee shop — separate alias per program. Each retailer sees what looks like a unique email, but they all forward to the same real inbox.
Black Friday / Cyber Monday spree
Generate aliases inline on every checkout via the browser extension. Even if you sign up for 30 stores in one weekend, six months from now your real inbox stays clean and you know which stores were the worst offenders.
Returns and warranty
Permanent aliases keep working forever, so when you need to look up an order from two years ago for a return, you can still receive support emails — unlike with temp-mail addresses that expired the day you bought.
Five-minute setup
No technical knowledge needed. The browser extension does the heavy lifting at checkout time.
- 1
Sign up (free)
The free tier includes 10 aliases — enough for your top retailers. No credit card; you can use it forever at the free tier.
- 2
Install the browser extension
Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, or Arc. The extension puts a one-click alias generator next to every email field on every signup form. No more typing your real email at checkout.
- 3
Use a fresh alias every time you check out
On any retailer's signup or checkout, click the extension badge — a fresh alias is generated, copied to your clipboard, and inserted into the field. The retailer thinks they have your real address; you've handed them a kill switch.
- 4
Migrate existing accounts (optional)
For retailers you already gave your real email to, log into your account and update the email on file to a new alias. It's a one-time edit per retailer and lets you reclaim attribution on accounts you already have.
- 5
Disable any alias that goes bad
When a retailer starts spamming — and they all do, eventually — open the dashboard, hit disable, and that address dies. Your other 50 aliases keep working. The retailer can't reach you and you didn't have to log into 50 accounts to update anything.
Frequently asked questions
What is an encrypted email alias?
An email alias is a unique forwarding address that shields your real email. When someone sends mail to your alias, it's encrypted and forwarded to your real inbox. The sender never sees your actual email address, protecting you from spam, phishing, and data breaches.
How do I create my first alias?
Sign up for a free account, and you can generate your first alias instantly from the dashboard. Simply click "Create Alias," choose a label (like "shopping" or "newsletter"), and your new encrypted alias is ready to use.
Is EmailAlias better than disposable email services?
Unlike throwaway email services, EmailAlias gives you permanent, encrypted aliases you control. You can receive mail indefinitely, reply from your alias, and disable it anytime. It's privacy without the inconvenience. Disposable emails expire and can't receive future messages — aliases are yours forever.
What if I start getting spam on an alias?
Simply disable the alias from your dashboard. This is the beauty of per-service aliases — you can cut off spam from one source without affecting any other service. You can also create a new alias for that service if needed.
Is there a limit on how many aliases I can create?
Free users get up to 10 aliases. Premium users enjoy unlimited aliases (with a fair-use soft cap), plus custom domains, send & reply, exposure analytics, priority forwarding, and stricter spam filtering.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Our free plan includes 10 encrypted aliases, basic spam blocking, basic leak detection, and email forwarding. No credit card required.
