It's less a protection schema and more a canary schema. I use plus-addressing for basically every online account that I create that does not need to be professional in nature. The benefit is that if I start receiving emails from Foo.com sent to myemail+bar@example.com, I know that my bar.com account got compromised and I can do something about it to limit my exposure.
- antifa 4y agoI've found that a lot of websites don't like "+" or even intentionally detect it to reject it or subvert the user's interest. I think a good system would be a randomly generated handle like nick836742@example.com where my real email probably isn't nick@example.com, but the number is different for each service.
