You don't need to go that far. I'm only familiar with one password manager but it does create email aliases when you're signing up, though I never tried.

The other thing you can do if you have Gmail , the plus sign is used to create aliases. If your email is foo@gmail.com, you will also receive emails automatically for foo+bar@gmail.com
