Or just buy a domain for like $12 and use it for catch-all email. My custom domain routes everything to a single inbox, and I can tailor the email address specifically to who/what I’m making an account for. And if I ever see spam hit that address, I can just set a rule to automatically spam anything that comes in at that address.
For example, maybe I sign up for a Target account using Target@[mydomain]. Then a few weeks later, I see spam addressed to Target@[mydomain]. I now know Target has sold my info, and I can automatically route everything addressed to Target@[mydomain] directly to spam. Now I have no more spam hitting my inbox, because it all automatically gets sent straight to spam.
What if your standing at checkout with the red card app ready to go but it asked for the last four digits of your card so you called your spouse to read you the last four digits of the card while you cursed the very idea of the red card in the app if they are going to require biometrics and occasionally ask for the last four digits I mean really why even have the app if you need to carry the card right?
But then you get the last four digits and enter it and it says “please check your email for a unique one-time password”.
Yeah, that’s fine. That would be a very manual process, whereas Port87 makes the process automatic. But, yeah, you get most of what Port87 offers that way, you just have to pay for it.
If you want a usable mail for all your accounts that is also spam resistant, may I recommend https://port87.com

What happens if you need to place an order using your Target account. Wouldn’t your receipt and shipping confirmation also go to that spam folder?
