I like that if you use a different alias for everything, you can really figure out who's breached or leaking info.

...this is how we live our lives now.... trying to mask our identities ... anonymity ... burner phones... dodging spam advertising VPN's.... 1065 passwords for 12 email addresses saved in a cloud that we pay for with anonymous/burner credit cards i'm 57yo now... good luck to you all 😒

I wish I had a live person like you sitting next to me at my desk helping me along. I need to set up a new email address for my bank accounts but have no Idea what I'm doing!

[dennisk]

Great instructional video. I recall someone telling me that in cases in which they don't want to give out their normal email (thereby ending up with a lot of unrequested email) they use the normal account address they have, but they add a character(s) to the same email account, but it comes in with that character, not affecting the established email account. If I recall, a punctuation is used after the character. This way, they can scan for the added character and dispose of the email as needed and the sender doesn't have his true email address.

I appreciate this advice, and I like this video, but I also have to agree with the people here who feel like this is all way too much, mentally. I was talking with a friend last year about this topic, and he was gung-ho on creating and managing a whole slew of online identities. Basically like multiple personalities plus a whole accounting system full of aliases. Yes, I have one or two pseudonymous email accounts, but I not a whole lot, and frankly I find it too exhausting to bother using them very much. I will literally rather live the life of a near-hermit and just plain not receive the newsletters, not participate in the interactions, not make the new friends, not buy from the new additional businesses, and so on. This is why we can't have nice things.

Please do a pseudonym video! I'd especially love to hear about the extra phone number.

As a person that heavy into encrypted emails, and privacy - I have been using temp emails from various sites, and recently thought about using aliases. I didnt think it would help with spam and i have a huge problem with that. Thanks for the knowledge.

[MCMXI]

Honestly one of the most underrated channels on YouTube. Keep on!

[MakeitZUPER]

Thanks for another great presentation. I am definitely interested in redirecting junk and spam mail somewhere else as well as separating out my billing and shopping e-mails. Being able to add a false address and phone # are particularly intriguing to combat potential hackers and telemarketers. Since so many places use confirmation e-mails, I didn't know this was even an option.

[Flexin]

This is a pain. But it’s worth it. I’m doing that now. Paid for a domain and a mail service. Now I keep all the stuff separate. I had to abandon 2 emails because of the constant spamming. I love it 😊

[Glatze]

Hi Josh, a separate video about how to create and use a complete pseudonym account would be very interesting!

[Kevin.S.McCarter_PhD]

After watching two of your email security videos, I'm very much intrigued. Subscribed and looking forward to learning how to improve my privacy and security.

[OrdinaryJacob]

Jason seems like a nice guy, would love to hear more!

[billl]

This was well stated but even so it seems complicated. I have trouble understanding how you keep all this straight and how like your Netflix account how the Alias or Group makes it easier to remember or find.

[homesteadishdad]

I'm definitely interested in the pseudonym video. I've created my own but it would be great to know if I'm doing it right.

[adkmtns]

I love your channel and have taken many of your suggestions and implemented them. I do want to clarify though, Proton end to end encryption only exists from proton email account to proton email account. Emails to / from your bank, lawyer, etc. are not encrypted if they do not use a Proton account. Any non-Proton account to Proton email, or Proton email to any non-Proton account is not encrypted end to end.

[drxav]

JOSH, you are a wealth of useful knowledge and information, I appreciate and thank you for your help.

[cecastil]

Hello John, great video and just in time for what I want to do now. I'm curious with this approach which email would you use for regular things like utility bills (and accounts), medical and lab results and things of that nature: communications that are not conversations with friends and family, nor are they business related, neither marketing... thanks! By the way, utility accounts as well as medical accounts will normally get linked to your SSN and mailing address... so....

[connecticutaggie]

I originally started using email forwards about 20 years ago when my wife and I were using the same email address for family messages and it was hard to track whether I had seen an email or not since she could have marked it as read. Then I realized I could create more and use rules to sort them into folders. I can't imagine now doing it any other way.

[libbyd]

I like Protonmail too, but when you mentioned it's security benefits for your financial email and being end-to-end encrypted... I thought that's only if the receiving party is using it as well. Your financial institutions are probably not using Protonmail, therefore it isn't end-to-end encrypted, right?
