Is anyone else having trouble using @simplelogin email aliases with @github. I'm getting an error saying 'email domain could not be verified.' Can't seem to make it work for my account. Is anyone else facing this issue? cc: @protonmail

#GitHub #SimpleLogin #EmailAlias

My current setup is one alias per service - to see when and which service leaked my address.
Which means I manually created > 200 alias addresses over the last 2 years, but it also limits which mail providers I can use (unlimited aliases isn't a widespread feature)
#email #mail #emailalias

I'm curious - how do people around here handle #email addresses?
Do you you use one address for everything, one alias per service (if so, how do you manage that?), password manager that handle the whole thing, …?
