A device is trying to sign in to your account. If this was you, enter the following code in the sign-in window:
Create gaming alts without giving out your real email. Temporary addresses can receive but not send messages. Once they expire, the address and its emails are permanently deleted.
Sign in with your real emailCreate forwarding aliases
For accounts that need to receive email long-term, use forwarding aliases to automatically send messages to your real inbox.
One address, from 3 to 24 hours
New addresses are valid for 3 hours, enough to sign up and verify your email. If you’re waiting for an activation email, a welcome offer, or two-factor authentication, extend the address from the toolbar—no need to switch. Each address can be kept for up to 24 hours.
After 24 hours, the address and inbox are deleted, and expired messages can’t be recovered. To keep receiving notifications for a game account, use a forwarding alias when you sign up. To estimate how long you’ll need an email for an alt, see the email lifespan planner.
For ongoing email, use a forwarding alias
If one alias starts attracting promotional emails, pause or delete just that one. Your other accounts will keep receiving mail as usual.
Go to email forwardingPause an alias to stop messages at the gate
When you pause an alias, incoming messages are discarded on the Tmpletter sideand discardedinstead of reaching your real inbox. It’s useful when an event ends or promotional emails pick up, but you still want to keep the account.
Turn forwarding back on with one click to forward new messages as usual. Messages discarded while paused won’t be delivered later. Delete aliases you no longer need; deleted aliases stop receiving email, freeing up a slot for your next account.
Codes displayed in a monospace font
Every character has the same width, making 0 and O, or 1 and l, easy to tell apart. The copy button copies only the code.

Extend when needed
Extend the address if you’re waiting for more messages, up to 24 hours. For ongoing email, switch to a forwarding alias.
Frequently asked questions
Can I send or reply to emails with a temporary address?
No. Temporary addresses can only receive email, making them suitable for signup codes, activation links, and platform notifications.
Can I recover emails after an address expires?
No. The address and all its messages are deleted when it expires. Use any important verification codes before then.
How long can I use a temporary email address?
It lasts 3 hours by default. Extend it with one click from the toolbar, up to a maximum of 24 hours.
Do forwarding aliases need a password?
No. Sign in to the dashboard with a code sent to your real email. You can create up to 100 aliases.
What happens to incoming mail when I pause an alias?
Messages are discarded instead of forwarded to your real inbox. When you resume forwarding, only new messages will be forwarded.
What should I do if my verification code doesn’t arrive?
Your inbox refreshes automatically. If the message still hasn’t arrived, open the verification troubleshooting page and check that you entered the full address, the platform isn’t blocking it, and you haven’t hit a resend cooldown.
Start with 3 hours and extend up to 24. For ongoing email, create a forwarding alias.
