Products that do what IdBloc – Use a different email address for every website does
Hi HN! I've been thinking about how we use password generators to create a unique password for every login to increase security, but most of us use the same email address as the login identifier on every website and mailing list out there. It's a big privacy and security hole that isn't easily plugged (e.g. anyone who knows your email address has a starting point to start trying to get into your account, it's easy to track emails across websites etc.) To solve this I've created https://idbloc.co It’s a web app that lets you generate random, untraceable email addresses that forward…

Hey there, there are lot of disposable email services, but as I was thinking I realized 95% of the time, I don't care about my inbox. I just want to "verify my email". That's why I created a startup with no website, it's called [email protected], it's a credible domain (you don't say) and it will click on any "verify" links you send it to it. You can use aliases to get around of duplicate emails in the target system, so like [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] so choose an alias and start using the service! I will provide a…

MailPhantom aims to achieve this, with an added benefit, you'll see which service providers or mailing lists are sharing your email addresses. ######### This is basically a MVP, and may likely break somewhere. But if there is a lot of interest I may build/work on it more. I have used it in its current state for a few months now. I…

Hey HN! I made a service to share passwords easy and secure but never promoted it. It's called instapass.io I noticed that people besides my friends and clients actually started to use, so maybe it will be helpful for you too! You share one-time self-destruct message using one time links and I won't even be able to see what you wrote. How does it work? When you generate a message the client-side makes a random password and use that to encrypt the message. The password is appended as an anchor tag which all modern browsers never send to the server. This way, I don't even know what you shared.…
