Temporary Email vs. Email Aliases: Which Is Better?

Both help with privacy and organization, but each serves a different purpose.

Disposable (Tempmail.work)

• Best For: One-off sign-ups, OTPs, short-term tasks.
• Pros: No setup, instant, auto-expire.
• Cons: No long-term access.

Aliases (From Your Provider)

• Best For: Medium-trust services you may keep.
• Pros: Forward to your inbox, can be filtered.
• Cons: Still tied to your identity; needs setup.

Decision Flow

• Short-term? Use TempMail.
• Could be long-term? Use an alias.
• Critical? Use your primary email.
