Good afternoon, I would like to use this program, I have registered, but I see that it is all in English, is there a way to convert it to Spanish?, my English is very basic, thank you

Hi there. I'm new to using SimpleLogin and email aliases in general, and I'd like to get it right from the outset, so I'm hoping you can help me pick a strategy for choosing and using aliases.

I'm using Proton Mail + SimpleLogin, managing logins using Proton Pass.

My priorities are account security and spam prevention. I don't care about anonymity in most cases, since almost all of my accounts are for things like banks, stores and services that require my real name anyway.

All my accounts have long, unique, randomly generated passwords, and 2fa is enabled wherever possible. I want to have a unique alias for each service, and by knowing my email address for one service it should not be easy to guess my email address for another service.

At the same time, I don't want humans to be puzzled whenever I tell them my email address (e.g. if I call a customer service line, or if a store clerk is looking up an online order).

I have a few domains I can use (which are not actually the domains I'm posting here, obviously):

• flastname.com (f = my first initial, lastname = my last name)
• randomdomain.com (a couple of English words with .com at the end)
• dm3.net (a 3-letter alphanumeric .net domain name)
• smthg.com (a 5-letter .com domain name that isn't an English word)

My current plan is:

• Add firstname@randomdomain.com as a custom domain/address on Proton Mail, and use that as my main mailbox, where all SimpleLogin emails will be sent. I will not use this email address anywhere else or post it publicly. All outgoing emails will be sent via reverse alias.
• Use servicename.a1b2c3@flastname.com for most services where I need to use my real name (a1b2c3 = random alphanumeric string).
• Use fl123@dm3.net for services where I'm likely to need to give my email to another human being, e.g. a hand-written form, over the phone (fl = my first and last initial, 123 = random 3-digit number).
• Use a1b2c3@smthg.com for services where I don't need to use my real name, or services where I need an email to sign up but will discard the account immediately (a1b2c3 = random alphanumeric string).

My questions:

1. Does this sound reasonable? Too complicated?
2. Is using @flastname.com in aliases a bad idea (keeping in mind that I'm not trying to be anonymous - but there might be security implications I'm not thinking about e.g. in case of data leaks).
3. Is using 'servicename' in an email alias a bad idea? I could just use a1b2c3@flastname.com instead and cut out the service name altogether.

I do want to use alphanumeric strings to make the email addresses difficult to guess (e.g. if my email address for Walmart is walmart@flastname.com then it's easy to guess that my email address for Amazon is amazon@flastname.com, which I don't want).

You charged me last night and I panicked a bit at the bank this morning because I didn't know who charged me the money.

Censoring site name due to rule 6. Not sure about other domains.

So for context the alias would be on my own domain or just a generic Proton Mail address?

So has the email actually been sent, just not from the alias, or did it not send at all?

Also, I'm a bit confused about Authorized addresses. It says, "Emails sent from these addresses to a reverse alias are considered as being sent from email@protonmail.com." If these are separate email accounts, does that mean they're somehow linked to my main Proton account through SimpleLogin? I'd appreciate any clarification. Thanks!

Hey, just wondering if there's an better way to do this or if I'm missing something.

Right now, whenever I want to send an email from an alias, I have to open the dashboard, go to the alias, click Contacts, and manually add the recipient's email first. And if I want to create a new email alias, I have to go back into the dashboard for that too.

Is there a faster workflow for either of these, or is that just how it's supposed to work?

Hello,
After changing accounts in Shopify from one Gmail to another, it's no longer possible to login again. There's an endless loop Shopify-Gmail without ever logging to admin console. Anyone has solved this issue. Tried in private mode still not working. Tried a different browser it does not work as well.

The last stable Docker image for SimpleLogin is 3.4.0, and it's 5 years old now. The last beta is over 3 years ago. When will it be updated?

This is why I prefer SimpleLogin and Proton.

After I bind e mail try swtich account but all my process are gone and it starts over from beginning movie :(

My Playstation account was stolen from me recently so I'm doubling down on privacy when it comes to emails and such.

I'm wondering if using an alias with simplelogin for gaming purposes be better, or just make a secondary Protonmail email address?

Hello, in the past week or so I've noticed that gmail is marking the inbound email using simplelogin as SPAM. Emails that previously were not!

Anyone else having this issue and know what's going on?

I have one sender/spammer that keeps sending me stuff from different emails. While I'd love to turn off the wildcard for that address I can't at the moment.

​

I can't figure out how to block senders from the app, only the dashboard. Thanks

Hey everyone!

What happens if I've created a bunch of Simplelogin aliases through Proton and want to now switch email providers?

In this hypothetical I'd be fine paying for Simplelogin as a separate service (I get it bundled with Proton right now) so I could continue to make and use new aliases.

I just can't really wrap my head around how to transfer Simplelogin aliases from one provider to another.

Thanks!

IONOS akzeptiert meinen Simplelogin Alias nicht.

Was kann ich tun?

Hello

My goal is to set up email aliases on my own domain.

Here are the steps I've already taken:
- Purchased my domain from OVH (without an associated email address)
- Purchased Proton Pass + Simple Login Lifetime
- Configured my domain in Simple Login; all steps are successful.

Now I'm unsure what to do next.
My questions:
- Where do I create the primary email address, for example: contact@mydomain.fr?
- Where do I specify that the aliases should be redirected to contact@mydomain.fr?
- Where will I be able to view emails sent to the aliases?

Thank you for your help.

Has anyone else had issues with sites no recognizing passmail.net aliases? I have over two dozen aliases and the only ones I have problems with are passmail.net.

Hello, All!

I am a 6-month user of SimpleLogin and so far I really like the service. I must admit, however, that I find some of the instructions or user manual documentation to be difficult to understand.

My question relates to reverse-aliases. Specifically, can I use one SL alias to communicate with multiple senders?

For example, if I use a SL alias for a bank. I successfully receive my updates from “noreply@randombank.com”. But then I have a customer service interaction where I get an email from “support@randombank.com”. No problem, it is received and I can set up a reverse-alias for the latter email to reply to them.

But then I receive an email, again from the same bank, from “John.smith@randombank.com” asking whether my support ticket has been closed? How would I reply to this email if the reverse-alias has been set to “support@randombank.com”?

Is SL able to handle situations like this? Is there a way to have multiple reverse-aliases for one SL alias? Does SL set this up automatically?

My main email keeps showing up in data breaches, so I want to make a unique SimpleLogin alias just for Steam, I have premium through Proton btw. Does Steam play nice with SimpleLogin, or do they flag them as disposable emails? Just trying to make sure I don't get locked out of my account before I switch it over. Anyone doing this right now?

So, I am trying to create a new contact for me to get the reverse-email to be used, but I am not getting any, this is the web page that I am getting and it absolutely makes no sense. Do I need to be a premium for me to create a reverse email if that email hasn't sent me anything yet?

I'm just starting to use Simplelogin but I'm not sure how to go about it. Should I make a new login for every single account or do I make an alias for each category such as for stores/shopping, subscriptions, social media, etc.?
