A temporary email (also called a disposable or throwaway email) is an address created in seconds to receive mail for a short time before it's deleted. You don't sign up, set a password or share any personal details.
When to use a temporary email
Signing up for a trial of an app or website you're not sure you'll keep using.
Receiving a verification code or activation link to download a document, ebook or coupon.
Commenting or joining a forum once without getting marketing mail later.
Testing sign-up flows while building a website or app.
When not to use one
Don't use a temporary email for bank accounts, e-wallets, your main social accounts or any account you may need to recover later. Mail is deleted after a while, so you won't receive password resets or security alerts.
Is temporary email safe?
10 Minute Mail never asks for your name, phone number or password, so the site you sign up for never gets your real email to spam or share. Still, don't use a temporary email for documents, card numbers or other sensitive information.
