One example would be state disability programs, they already need my real name and identity to work with me. Are there any downsides to sharing a simplelogin alias containing my real name vs no containing my real name? I just think it would be easier record keeping for them.
It’s better to use a custom domain or no alias at all for important personal stuff, but if your goal isn’t to be unidentifiable by the organization, then you can safely use your own name in the adresses. You will still have the advantage of spam control.
I have a Gmail for all important emails that’s my real name. I’m very careful to only use it for important things. I never use it for online orders of any sort.
I tried to use my real-name email for “professional” shit, but I always got vastly more action with my silly one. TBF it is kinda awesome.
Lol that’s the one you should not use for important things
I think it’s okay, if he uses this account for government related stuff, banking, insurance, work and so on, he already lost all privacy because of them, so why should he bother with a private email for those things
So that phishing attacks go to the one with your name in it that you don’t really use
Bots don’t know what’s a real name or fake. They’ll get [email protected] from a list and phish with it no different than if [email protected] was on the list.
If possible you should always try to have the email for your real name to use for business and government stuff.
Someone took my name and I am forever a [email protected]
Should have taken [email protected].
Damn that sucks, I’m sorry :/
You can be first again if you get your own domain!
Get your own domain quickly! Or you might be [email protected]
Register a domain. Use all the emails. New one for everything. Uber sending spam? Blocked.
Custom domain + SimpleLogin which generates a random alias (Tip: you can have emails forwarded to multiple “real” email addresses) + fake names and other personal info
