Phishing gone: 1Password taps Fastmail for âmasked emailâ aliases>
Venture Beat – Paul Sawers
The Canadian company has partnered with privacy-focused email provider Fastmail for the new service, which will now integrate its existing aliases feature directly into the 1Password platform.
With 1Passwordâs new âmasked emailâ offering, users are given an easy to way to create unique temporary or single-use email addresses to shield their main email address from view. Employees or consumers alike could use this to register for public Wi-Fi networks, for example, to sign up for newsletters, or anything they may wish to access but donât want to give out their own email address for. This also means that if an online service provider is hacked or breached in any way, a person who only submitted an email alias can rest a little easier.
After registering to create a primary email address with Fastmail, users can create any number of aliases that sit under the main account, after which they can pause inbound emails from any individual alias that they wish. Itâs worth noting that they can also automatically forward any emails from an alias to another email account â for example, their work email address â which increases the utility for those who donât want to maintain multiple email accounts.
