Plex: Important notice of a potential data breach

What's the best way to use unique emails. I get that Apple has the 'Hide my Email' feature but it's not clear to me how to best use it, especially outside of Apple ie. Where do I find a list of emails that it's created for me and what they were used for.

Temporary email services don't seem helpful either if you need to go through password reset processes or receive emails after the address has been removed.

Do people just use use custom domains with catch all addresses? Is this really the best way?

Disclosure: I work at 1Password.

I used to use a catchall with my domain, but now I use our masked email feature. You need a 1Password account, and for fastmail to be your host.

https://1password.com/fastmail/

Depending on your settings, you can use your own domain (which is portable, but less anonymous) or you can generate *@fastmail.com addresses.

There are email Alias services such as anonaddy.com or SimpleLogin.io doing the same thing hide my email is doing.

To answer your specific question about finding the email addresses you have created via HideMyEmail:

- open Settings - tap your username/name at the top of Settings - tap iCloud - tap Hide My Email - you can look for any emails or matches you want
