SimpleLogin review
SimpleLogin is an open-source email alias service provided by Proton AG in Switzerland. It assigns a unique alias to each website, forwarding incoming mail to your real inbox. When replying, the message appears to originate from the alias, ensuring your actual email address remains concealed. Creating an account requires an email address, and the terms forbid disposable or forwarding addresses for sign-up. However, note that SimpleLogin must comply with law enforcement when presented with a warrant or court order. In our view, SimpleLogin is a suitable choice for those looking for aliases capable of sending mail.
ID rule not stated
SimpleLogin's own pages do not give one answer on when it asks for ID.

Community
On Reddit's r/Simplelogin, read on November 10, 2026, we looked at five top threads of the past year about SimpleLogin, the email alias service from Proton. Users like that aliases let them use a separate address for every account, including banks and government sites, and several report fewer problems with a custom domain. The main criticism is that some shops, game platforms and other sites reject or later lock accounts tied to SimpleLogin aliases or its mail servers. Others say the mobile apps and web interface get few updates and some bugs remain open.

How we read the terms
We do not give privacy services a score. We record what each provider's own pages say: when it asks for ID, the limits, who holds your coins and what it costs. Labels come from each provider's terms, never from our guess. How we read the terms
