One of the reasons I have my own email domain and random email addresses for certain services.
Catch all? I love it so damn much since I got it. Bitwarden added it on the fly and now I got disposable email addresses for anything I can think of, it's so, so perfect!
Hi, is this only for the web interface or something? Is this available for the android interface?
You can access it from the android Bitwarden app. Go to the password generator. Where it says "What would you like to generate?", tap Password and select username in the popup, then click OK. After that, it gives you an option to use a different emails when it generates the email address to use for the account you're setting up.
hmmm... i may need to buy bitwarden... i currently self-host, but that sounds very tempting!
No need. Even selfhost is free. The catch all feature is also included in the free plan. Bitwarden free is amazingly packed with pretty much all the features you need. Tip: Make a 'non-profit' organisation and invite your family to it. You can share passwords for streaming service etc using this.
Managing this for a large amount of services is a huge overhead for me. I use Sub-addressing and then apply filters based on categories.
It annoys the shit out of me how many developers don’t allow for sub-addressing. Google has supported it on Gmail since inception and it follows the damn spec! Don’t use your crappy form validator if it doesn’t allow valid emails!
I've always been curious. Do any parties just remove the string between "+" and "@" when they see those emails registered?
Not that I’ve seen. Some do however incorrectly escape the string and end up with an invalid email like namesite.com@gmail.com instead of name+site.com@gmail.com.
If you have catch all enabled for your custom domain there's no overhead.
Signing up for reddit? Just put reddit@example.com and that address will be automatically created and start receiving reddit's emails. Don't have to fiddle with anything.
I like this.
I use legacy free g suite, might see if it supports this

I do this as well but there's been quite a few times when the email input wouldn't accept it and it's usually on the sites you really wanna have it on.
I was dumb founded to find out that vrchat doesn't except ProtonMail. I had to use my mothballed gmail account.
Got a domain? Setup 'catch all' and you are all set. If not consider a cheap one. It's unlimited disposable email addresses for few buck a year.
Interesting. How does this work? I've never used it. I either add manual aliases or distribution groups. It's a pain in the ass but it works and is safer than using the same email for everything.
One thing I like is also how you can tell who sold your email to spammers 🤣
