Back when I signed up for reddit, you didn't need an email and they warned you if you lost your password you'd be locked out of your account until you regained it and they would not offer support to reset it
I liked that. I don't want to have to submit my email for everything just to interact
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 donβt allow for sub-addressing. Google has supported it on Gmail since inception and it follows the damn spec! Donβt use your crappy form validator if it doesnβt 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 Iβve seen. Some do however incorrectly escape the string and end up with an invalid email like [email protected] instead of [email protected].
If you have catch all enabled for your custom domain there's no overhead.
Signing up for reddit? Just put [email protected] 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

And then there's those of us who don't use email for all practical purposes. I haven't sent an email in anger for a donkey's age; the only reason I have an email at all is because of all the people in North America who think email is the wave of the future.
