Basically the tittle says it all. Is there something like iOS hide my email on Android? I would love to switch from iOS to Android but I can't live without hide my email thing. Thanks!

Edit: went for Proton Pass as it worked best in my usecase. Bitwarden + Firefox relay was great to but I missed the ability for it to automatically save my logins after I log in to some websites. I had to put all the info manually into the Bitwarden app.

My first thought was SimpleLogin or Firefox Relay. Proton also offers this service through its Proton Pass service. But nothing integrated into Android as far as I know. Hope this helps!

I just checked simple login as it has iOS app also. It lets me log in with my proton account and it looks good, will test it for a while and see how it goes. It only lets you create 5 addresses so it’s the first downside I can see for now. For Firefox Relay I guess I need Firefox browser installed so I think I will pass on this one but I will definitely check out proton too as I already have proton mail. I can see they have 80% off for their Proton Pass plan now and it costs 1$ per month for a yearly subscription so I might go for this solution. Thank you for your help!

Firefox relay works without Firerfox Browser. Its just a website. It also itegrates well with Bitwarden to generate Relay emails in Bitwarden.

I use simplelogin all the time. It's really useful.

SimpleLogin can help you with that. And as with all things Android you can customize with more detail, it’s just not as seamless as what is built into iOS.

Firefox Relay is the best platform agnostic option in my opinion. It's free to use for the basic variant and with Relay Premium you support Mozilla and can use custom domains as well.

If you use Bitwarden you can integrate DuckduckGo's email aliasing into Bitwarden's username generation feature. You can find the documentation here.

DuckDuckGo offers this from within their browser

I already use proton mail so I might consider this. I will definitely check this out, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you all! There is so many options that I had no idea existed. For now testing proton pass and bitwarden + Firefox relay. Seems great so far and will switch to one of them permanently soon. Thanks again, now switching to Android will be easy peasy!

I use 1Password and FastMail’s “Masked Email” https://1password.com/fastmail/ and it works very well.
