Are you fed up with spam from websites that would ask you to
register in order to view their content, and then later discover that they will
give your info to other companies? If your answer is yes, then this might be
the perfect time to use a disposable email. Courtesy of MaskMe, you now have a
way to fight against these unwanted messages by creating a disposable email
address in an instant. This service enables you to toggle forwarding abilities
to your real email, while still protecting your info from being sold to
unwanted companies.
MaskMe functions as a Chrome extension that will fill in a
disposable email, or even your real one when you need it. Here's how to use the
MaskMe service:
MaskMe remembers which website you used a disposable email on,
making it easy for you to log in. You will have to remember your password,
unless if you're using MaskMe to manage your passwords as well. When the
registration form loads on a website, click the email field and MaskMe will
display a pop-up menu that allows you to select either a disposable email or
your true email.
Below is how the MaskMe interface looks like:
Since MaskMe keeps a record of where you use disposable email
addresses, it will be easy for you to toggle their forwarding capability via
the extension. You can do this by clicking the extension icon on the toolbar,
then select Masked
Emails.
On the sample screenshot above, click the green Forwarding button next to the email you would like to toggle and it will be set as Blocked. You can also delete the email at any time by clicking on the small trash can icon located at the right side.
