01:18a random alias that forwards to your inbox. It's great for newsletters, online trials,

01:24or any site you don't fully trust. The emails will land in your default address, but you can

01:29also add it to multiple inboxes. This gives you responses sent to your email address of choice

01:35without giving it away. And if you ever stop trusting the site, you can simply disable the

01:39alias. ProtonPass isn't just for logins and passwords. You can also use it to securely store
