Free Burner Email

Your free burner email is ready

A burner email is an address you use for one job and then "burn". The one at the top of this page is already live. Use it to sign up, receive the email you need, and walk away. After 5 days it's deleted automatically, together with everything sent to it.

Why use a burner email?

Your main email address is one of the most valuable pieces of data about you. Companies use it to track you across sites, data brokers buy and sell it, and when a website is breached, it ends up in lists used for phishing and password attacks. A burner address keeps all of that away from the inbox you actually care about.

• Stop spam before it starts. Lists you join with a burner never reach you.
• Limit tracking. Advertisers can't link your activity to your real address.
• Reduce breach damage. A leaked burner address leads nowhere.
• No commitment. No account, password or phone number required.

Burner email vs. burner phone number

Many sites now ask for a phone number as well as an email. A burner email protects your inbox, but it doesn't replace phone verification. For services that insist on a phone number, ask yourself whether it's an account you'll want to keep. If it is, your real details and two-factor authentication are the safer choice.

Smart rules for burner emails

1. Use a burner for anything one-off: downloads, coupons, Wi-Fi, trials you'll cancel.
2. Never use one for banking, payments, work, health or government services.
3. Don't receive passwords or private documents in a burner inbox. It isn't password-protected.
4. Delete it when you're done, so nothing lingers.
5. Be careful with links. Burner inboxes receive phishing too. Here's how to spot a phishing email.

Frequently asked questions

Is a burner email anonymous?

It isn't linked to your name or real inbox. Websites can still see your IP address and device, so a burner hides your email, not your whole identity online.

Can I reuse my burner address?

Yes, for 5 days. Copy it somewhere safe and use "Change" to open it again before it expires.

What's better for long-term accounts?

An email alias that forwards to your real inbox. Compare them in Temp Mail vs. Email Alias.
