I do this on gmail myself. I have my own domain and pay for gmail on it. I have a wildcard set to go to my mailbox and wildcard stuff gets sorted per usual. So for instance, if I buy something at target, I use/sign in w/ target@mydomain.com.
I know I should probably get off of gmail, but it's a really good service for my needs.
It's also reasonably priced and there's no limit for those email addresses since it just captures every email sent to my domain.
Downside is I can't send from those addresses but that's generally okay for me.
- Gigachad 3y agoI used to do this but ended up in too many situations on the phone where someone says “what’s your email” and I can’t remember what email I gave them and I look like an idiot who doesn’t know what their email is. Now I just mark any marketing email as spam and let the email service automatically move all future emails to spam.
- nullfield 3y agoI did too, and I’m not sure what the best fix is. Proton has SimpleLogin after buying it, but then they own me forever as much as the next company, with the caveat that they can raise fees. Just your username and (ridiculously crazy, 26 character) password isn’t good enough anymore-“oops, we need to send you an email before you can log in” is rapidly becoming normal.
