      I mean why not. Having the Email provider automatically telling you that your E-Mail was found in a leak is really nice. Not everyone knows haveibeenpwned

      Id need a paid haveibeenpwned subscription for domain level support. Proton is adding this to their existing subscription services to add value to what they offer. It’s a smart move, especially once they add in catch-all/SL alias support

      Looks like another Have I Been Pwned, at least at a glance they’re looking for email addresses, and given that you have your email with them if you’re using this service they kinda do have it already

    I use my own domain, so I can do things like Home Depot, At my domain, and Amazon at my domain, and eBay at my domain, etc. So if anybody besides them emails me, I know that it has been misused or lost.

        Some websites don’t recognize the plus trick and won’t accept it. And I use my own domain so that if I wish to switch email providers ever again, I don’t have to switch all of my email addresses again. I can just switch my domain to a new provider and all of my emails stay the way they are.

          Lots reject it. Most retailers use emails like phone numbers: unique to a single person. They often simply reject temporary emails of this nature. In fact, at one point even lemmy.world was not signing anyone up if they used temp emails.

            Which is another reason that I don’t use temp emails and use my own domain instead. I have run across that once or twice when using aliases like simple login.

          Crap sites if they are trying to sanitise email like that, but no matter you can use dots too if you don’t want to go to trouble of own domain.

        Problem is, nothing prevents anyone from removing the plus part before sanding the mail. Isn’t it a standard at basically any email provider?
