Easy to read out
Vallkey picks each address: three random words and two digits, such as quiet.otter.lantern42, easy to say on the phone and not to guess.
Email aliases
A different email address for every site.
Give each website its own address, which forwards to your inbox. The site never learns your real address, a leak tells you who leaked it, and an alias that gets spam is turned off.
How it works
Email aliases, step by step.
Make an alias
New alias, with a note of what it's for. In your browser, New email alias for this site makes one for the page you're on and copies it, ready for the sign-up form.
Mail comes to your inbox
Email sent to the alias is forwarded to your own address. The sender's name shows who wrote, and which alias they wrote to.
Reply, or turn it off
Reply as usual, and your answer leaves from the alias, not from your address. Turn an alias off, and its mail is refused.
The details
What careful people ask.
Five on Free
Free keeps five aliases at once. Premium and Families have as many as you like.
What we know
The alias, that it's yours, whether it's on, and how many emails it forwarded and refused. Not what it's for: that note is encrypted with your keys, like everything in your vault.
What it doesn't do
You can reply through an alias, but not write to someone new from it. Aliases are made in the web vault, the desktop app and the browser extension.

Questions
Do I need a separate email service?
No. Aliases are part of Vallkey: they're made, listed and turned off where your logins are.
What happens to mail for an alias I turned off?
It's refused, and counted, so you can see how much was kept out. Turn the alias back on, and mail flows again.
Can a website tell it's an alias?
It can see the address is on Vallkey's alias domain. It learns nothing else about you.
