Oh I glad there is still someone at Apple who understood its insanity. If only they made it generate a bit more sensible alias names.
UPD: I obviously mean alias addresses template make most of them too easy to recognize.
- merlindru 2mo agoCan't the aliases be renamed? --- Just checked, they can. Phew. If the forwarding alias was detectable/always used the same schema, that'd also make them borderline useless, just like the `privaterelay` subdomain
- SXX 2mo agoWhat do you mean renamed? Alias address certainly are not changeable. You can randomize next one from 2-3 options, but most of them still follow pattern that is easy to recognize. PS: I guess its just misunderstsnding and I really meant addresses themself are not human-like enough.
- simongr3dal 2mo agoBut the private relay domain is only used when you sign up through “Sign in with Apple”? A thing you have to support if your iOS app already supports sign up with other third party authentication providers.
- glub 2mo agoYeah, I don't really get the excitement. The pattern in which these aliases are generated might as well just end with private.icloud.com. Is breest-tas.7n@icloud.com really that hard to detect as hide my email?
