Serious question, why SimpleLogin vs Proton aliases?

You cannot turn off the proton aliases, one of my aliases (those with +) got compromised and I’m still getting phishing emails on that one. You can create a rule for that mail but you cannot completely disable it. There is also Proton Pass which does the same as SimpleLogin and also stores Passwords. You should check it out as well.

What do you mean? Of course you can.

if youre running a full domain, you dont even need to manually create alias' unless you need to reply/send as.

i've found i rarely need to do that, so you can literally just use an email address literally off the top of your head, have it all forwarded to a catch all and youre done. none of this extra service stuff. again, unless you require 'send as/aliasing'.

Yeah, my bad, that's what I do - so I just wasn't sure what the benefit of SimpleLogin was...fully open to admit maybe I'm missing something though.

I basically create an email alias for every service I use and when leaks happen I know exactly who the offender is - which is nice...I guess.
