    Proton Pass has a similar feature, I love it. But Spotify had banned my account and asked me to email them from the alias to unlock it, which is not possible. So you should be careful with that. A lot of companies employ anti-privacy practices.

      You can login to the SimpleLogin.io interface and setup reverse aliases even if you create them in proton pass. They don’t have the integration fully down yet so it’s clunky but it works.

      Were you using simplelogin.io, which is part of Proton? It is actually possible to reply or send mails from the aliases you create there. The feature is called reverse-alias.

      If you’re talking about a SimpleLogin, you CAN email from it. I forget the exact terminology (I can check if you need) but you can generate a forward address that you email and the receiver (Spotify) will see it as If you have emailed from your forwarding address.

      SimpleLogin does allow you to send emails from your alias, though

      If you use fastmail and a custom domain it automagically lets you reply to email from the email they sent you. i.e. if you have [email protected] and you reply to one of their emails it comes from [email protected]

      Most paid email providers let you setup a custom domain with a catch all address, its worth it. Not all have this handy reply email feature, and you have to configure a custom response address, annoying it but works too

    If you need a large number of aliases and reply-ability through them, DuckDuckGo has the best free solution ATM, IMHO. As long as you don’t mind the RNGd names.

    You can pick your sign-in/account name of course, but I prefered not to expose that because all the RNGd aliases are tied to it.

      Random email addresses are a better idea anyway; as soon as you personalise them, that makes them traceable to you again.

    Firefox Relay is not free, hence why it has premium feature. Anonymous email replies and blocking promotional emails? tough shit, pay to block.

    I mean I won’t use it because I don’t trust Mozilla with full access to all my websites, but I like that they have some monetization build in so that they can diversify the income and not only get money from Google.

    But I still think that Thunderbird is doing it better by asking for donations.
