#Note/Permanent #Email/Management #Email/Privacy #Email/Spam/Prevention In our digital age, we often use our email accounts to register for various services and applications, placing our trust in these vendors to safeguard our personal email addresses from [scammers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_fraud) and [phishers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing). Unfortunately, this trust is not always well-placed, as our data, including email addresses, may be compromised, either through intentional [sale](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/technology/facebook-privacy.html) or unintentional [leaks](https://haveibeenpwned.com/). A practical strategy to mitigate this risk is to maintain separate email addresses for distinct purposes. For instance, dedicate one email address for service registrations and another for personal communications. This approach not only bolsters privacy but also helps in reducing inbox clutter, making email management more efficient. **Apple's 'Hide My Email' Feature**: Apple users can take advantage of the 'Hide My Email' service for an additional layer of privacy. This feature enables you to sign up for apps or newsletters with unique masked email addresses while keeping your personal email address concealed. For more details, visit [Apple Support](https://support.apple.com/en-us/105078). **Fastmail 1Password Integration**: For users of 1Password, the integration with Fastmail offers a tool for email privacy. This feature allows the creation of masked email addresses when signing up for apps or any service requiring an email address, where revealing your primary email is undesirable. This integration effectively prevents your main email address from being exposed to potential spam or security risks.
