Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is a temporary disposable email?
A temporary disposable email is a one-time use email address that you can create quickly and use to receive messages without revealing your personal email address. It’s perfect for avoiding spam or signing up for services that require an email for verification but you don’t want to give out your real email address.
2. Why should I use a temporary email address?
Temporary email addresses are ideal for:
- Protecting your real email from spam.
- Signing up for websites or services without exposing your personal email.
- Testing services or completing one-time actions (e.g., confirming subscriptions, trials, etc.).
3. How long will my temporary email address last?
The email address will be active for a limited time, typically for one day. Once the timer runs out, the email address will expire, and any incoming messages will no longer be delivered.
