Extension summary

Minimalistic single-use email address generator.

The idea is to start treating email addresses that you use when signing up for a service similarly as passwords. They should be unique, generated and used only once. You store them with your password inside a password manager. Learn more at protectiid.com.

User reviews

Excellent idea. To top off the UX on this extension, I'd suggest adding a "copied" response of some kind, followed by an automatic closing of the popup window.

Simple and does what is says. Howeve I would consider of having full range on alphabets on the generated string, this way: chars = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' Array.from(window.crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint32Array(12))).map(x => chars[x % chars.length]).join('')
