SL is next to a DNS firewall & a password manager the most important service you can (and should!) use for upping your privacy game! I love SL and I'm using it daily. All my mails get encrypted and forwarded to my Protonmail with PGP encryption. I can't imagine an internet without it.
I've been using SimpleLogin for around a year -- it's been so useful for me and it's been a flawless experience so far!
I'm using a custom domain with their catch all email address support to just make a new email address on the fly whenever I want - I can just register and login to sites with emails like [sitename]@mydomain.com and they come straight to my normal inbox!
Compared to other similar services/techniques, SimpleLogin stands out to me because it lets you send emails from your aliases too, which you can't really do with more simple things like adding a "+xyz" to your normal email address (e.g. with Gmail). It's also self-hostable (though I haven't done that myself, it's nice to know I can if I want/need).
Thank you so much for all the work that's gone into this service!
Hi there ProductHunt
This is Son, the developer behind SimpleLogin here. Thanks @benln for the hunt!
I used to use my Gmail address everywhere, for signing up for new services, subscribing to newsletters, etc. I didn't realize it had become my Internet identity, my "virtual social security number”. My online activities could be easily linked together by this address and my mailbox was an easy target for any spam/phishing campaign.
What if there was a tool to create a different email address for each website? What if there was a way you could just disable an address if it starts receiving spams? And it would make it much harder to follow you across the internet. Actually there was already a way. The secret lays with "email aliases", an old, underused technology, but can help us take back control of our mailboxes.
In 2019 I quit my comfortable job to create that tool. It had to be easy to use, yet powerful enough that an email alias can not only receive email but also send it. It had to be open source, because I didn't want to have to trust a closed-source software to forward my emails, and it had to be available to everyone.
That's how SimpleLogin was born.
First launched in beta in 2020, SimpleLogin now regularly receives positive feedback from the privacy community and "influencers". SimpleLogin is available for Web, mobile (iOS, Android) and as Chrome/Firefox/Safari browser extensions.
SimpleLogin is 100% open source and can be self-hosted. Its notable features include sending emails from aliases, two-factor authentication (TOTP, WebAuth/FIDO, TouchID), custom domains, PGP encryption, multiple mailboxes/usernames, and catch-all/wildcard domains.
It's never too late for us to take back control of our mailboxes and our privacy. 30,000 people have already done it and never looked back.
Can't wait to see you creating your first alias.
Cheers,
Son.
