Burner Email — Create a Throwaway Inbox Instantly

A burner email is a disposable email address that you use once (or a few times) and then throw away. Think of it as a prepaid phone for email — no contracts, no commitments, and no link back to your real identity.

What Makes a Burner Email Different?

The term "burner email" emphasises the throwaway nature of the address. Unlike a regular temporary email, which you might keep for a few hours, a burner email is designed for a single interaction: verify an account, receive a code, and move on. The address is "burned" after use.

Top Reasons to Use a Burner Email

• Anonymous sign-ups: Create accounts on platforms you don't fully trust without handing over your real address.
• One-time verifications: Get the OTP or confirmation link, then forget about the address.
• Privacy on public Wi-Fi: If you're on an unsecured network, using a burner email adds an extra layer of separation.
• Newsletter previews: Want to read a newsletter before committing? Subscribe with a burner email first.
• Freelancer protection: Posting on job boards? Use a burner to filter initial replies before sharing your professional email.

Burner Email vs. Temporary Email vs. Disposable Email

These terms are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences:

• Temporary email: A short-lived inbox (minutes to hours) for general throwaway use.
• Disposable email: Any email address you intend to discard — could last minutes or days.
• Burner email: An address made specifically for a single transaction, emphasising one-time use and anonymity.

Safety Reminder

Burner emails are inherently public — anyone who knows the address can read the inbox. Never use a burner email for sensitive accounts like banking, healthcare, or primary social media. They're best suited for low-stakes interactions where privacy matters but security doesn't need to be airtight.
