A temporary inbox helps you receive an email with a code when a service checks your email rather than your phone. It sits next to virtual numbers: an SMS code needs a number, an email code needs a mailbox.
When to use a temporary email
It is a quick way to get an email with a code when the account does not need a permanent personal address.
- one-off sign-ups;
- test accounts;
- services that do not ask for SMS.
When a number is better
If a service asks for a phone number, a temporary inbox will not replace a virtual number. For repeat SMS codes, look at a rental.
No empty promises
A temporary inbox is not for every task. For important accounts, use a permanent email and set up account recovery in advance.
