@protonprivacy Hi there!
Why are the Simplelogin SOA records pointing to dns.cloudflare.com instead of protonmail.ch 🤔 🫤

@chiefbongo @Kdude Hi! We use 3rd party cloud providers for external monitoring of our availability, and also to assure connectivity by tunneling connections through cloud providers that are difficult to block. In all cases, this is done inside an encrypted tunnel and no user data is accessible to those cloud providers. We can confirm that all the user data Proton and SimpleLogin have is hosted on our own infrastructure.

Bitwarden has been killing it lately.. giving @1password a run for its money.

1PW only supports Fastmail

@bitwarden supports 6 email forwarding service providers:

@simplelogin
DuckDuckGo
@fastmail
AnonAddy
Forward Email
Firefox Relay

Bitwarden’s integration also appears more polish. One still cannot create a masked email address from the iOS 1password app.

@merecivilian Thanks for tagging us! Hide-my-email aliases are also available in Proton Pass and through the Proton Mail Security Center.

Do you own a website and wish to make sure your users’ identities are protected?

“Sign in with ” is open-source, takes minutes to integrate, follows industry standards, and shows that you care about your users’ : https://simplelogin.io/developer/

😎 Hide the real subject lines in all emails received to your aliases.

The feature is available on the web app: Mailboxes >> Hide email subject.

The real subjects are still visible in the email body.

@dieTasse @el_haych2024 Yes, we advise using this along with PGP encryption, or if you're using Proton Mail (which also relies on PGP to encrypt emails end-to-end). Namely, PGP encryption doesn't cover the subject lines at this time.

Just like social security numbers, passport information, and other information that can be used to identify you, your email is PII - personally identifiable information.

Yet many services pretend like it isn’t.

The best way to protect your identity online is to use a alias whenever you’re asked to share your email address.

@protonmail kills SimpleLogin!

Hi!

First, they removed account delete option.

Here is a link to saved page as PDF:

<https://we.tl/t-W5L6ADbmql>

Second, they removed free breach checks:

Link to GitHub

Third, they removed free send feature:

Link to GitHub

But (!) allowed sending in trial period so this will not stop abuse because abuser will simply create new account.

@Telo Note that this is not correct, as explained to you elsewhere (e.g. https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/new-changes-to-simplelogin-free-plan-that-upset-me/17361/17 or here: https://github.com/simple-login/app/discussions/2069)

The first one is still possible, it was just moved to the different section in the settings, "Account Settings".

@Telo

The second is an unofficial feature that we haven’t advertised, as it was still in development. It uses the HIBP (HaveIBeenPwned) API that recently increased their price. And as the number of aliases in SL have significantly increased, we have to upgrade to the more expensive options in HIBP and financially can’t just make this available for free. The feature is still under development, to ensure stability and scalability, we’ll make an announcement for it when it’s done. (2/3)

simplelogin,
@simplelogin@fosstodon.org avatar

@Telo The final one has been announced back in April 2022, and only implemented earlier this year, meaning that users have had enough time to make their decisions when it comes to using our services. It only affects recently created accounts, accounts that existed before the enforcement date aren’t affected and can still create new reverse aliases. (3/3)

@simplelogin hi, me again with questions about the Safari extension. Why is your extension not available in the UK App Store? and can I just download it from what ever source so I can finally use SimpleLogin in Safari without the very crappy port of the iPad app to macOS, please.

simplelogin,
@simplelogin@fosstodon.org avatar

@0x2c4 Could you manually search for “SimpleLogin” in the App Store, rather than using this link?

simplelogin,
@simplelogin@fosstodon.org avatar

@0x2c4 Thank you for the follow-up, we'll look into it!

I just read this in a review of a service:

"Sign-up doesn't require an e-mail or other personally identifiable information."

But it seems to me that when using email aliases (like @simplelogin), email no longer counts as 'personally identifiable information'... 🎉

simplelogin,
@simplelogin@fosstodon.org avatar

@normplum Good point!

Did you know that you can:

➕ connect your account to multiple inboxes, and

↪️choose which one of them is used each time you create a new alias?

How many inboxes can you connect to a SimpleLogin account?

@simplelogin hi there, why is the Safari extension not avaliable any more on AppStore for macOS?

simplelogin,
@simplelogin@fosstodon.org avatar

@0x2c4 Hi! We're waiting on Apple App Store to approve the new version of the Safari extension, so it should be available soon.

We’ve made some adjustments to the API, and now all SimpleLogin apps will load aliases faster (3x in our tests). 🚀

For a while I really wanted a service like Apple's Hide-My-Email but I didn't like how it was hidden away in iCloud settings. Felt hard to access.

I also knew @protonmail had one associated with their password manager.

But, TIL (and I vaguely remember knowing this already, but had forgotten), Proton owns SimpleLogin. Which has an app, extension, website, etc. which is EXACTLY what I've wanted all along. I wish proton would advertise it more.

This came about because my email got leaked 😔

@johnpeden @protonmail Hi! We're actually planning to provide phone number masking in the future.

You can now see your account statistics in the app.

This is already available on the web app and will soon be added to Android.

What's your stats flex? 😎 Drop us a screenshot or a number below 👇

A visual representation of how you feel when you disable an alias.

And all it takes is a toggle.

The gif shows a cursor toggling off a SimpleLogin alias, and the tooltip saying "Stop receiving email sent to this alias" shows up.

We asked our community at @Reddit when they find hide-my-email aliases most useful.

Below are some of their tips:

Good point for advanced users.

You can set up custom domains on SimpleLogin, as well as subdomains, which allow you to quickly create aliases on the fly, without opening the SimpleLogin app: https://simplelogin.io/docs/subdomain/new/
