To everyone saying they've changed to protonmail, check out https://simplelogin.io/ , owned by proton and free for all paying proton members. Unlimited email aliases so you can have a unique email per service. The apps also on fdroid.
Why would I switch from Firefox relay that gives unlimited aliases at 1/4 of the price?
You dont have to switch but if someone is paying for Proton than they can utilize it for no extra charge
Ooh so if you are already a Proton Other Things subscriber you get the unlimited alias version for free? Because that's an excellent reason.
They should make that more clear in the pricing page.
Thanks!
Yeah I wish they advertised that because it's an excellent deal. I don't know if the free Simplelogin Premium applies to all levels of subscription plans but Unlimited for sure has it. Been using it and it's amazing, it allows you to add PGP encryption through protonmail and simplelogin.
I didn't try Proton's solution, but free Relay was blocked at some services I tried to use it. It was so weirdly specific since no one really knows about them, so I guess some web admins has enough time on their hands to create a whitelist of all mail services they support, and moz.com wasn't there.
There are github repositories where people curate a list of domains providing temporary emails or email aliases and admins can just point to the maintained list to block.
In the ~20 I've created so far I've had 2 services that wouldn't accept simple login. For those I've used proton mail's built in email alias service where you get 15 aliases with their proper domain.
