+aliases vs simplelogin vs proton pass alias

Each have their own pro and cons.

Plus alias have been popularized by gmail and now spammers have turned clever by omitting it alltogether. Some webform would also reject address with the plus symbol.

Simplelogin is a dedicated alias manager so it does it right. Unlimited alias and can directly reply to the relayed mail without exposing real inbox, simplelogin will replace and mask the From field with whatever the intended alias the original mail comes to. In theory doesn't even need proton prem if got simplelogin prem. Doesn't even need to tie to proton, can be routed to other providers. Cons since some service would reject simplelogin address outright because its popular and getting caught and detected in throwaway email database.

Proton own alias is limited in numbers and features, some people might need more than whatever alias count it gives. Pro because for those services that reject simplelogin, proton alias wouldn't be because its treated as "real" address. They can't differentiate between an actual inbox or an alias because the domain the @proton.me is the same.

• Proton Alias: literal alias to your email address. like first.last@, f.last@, first.initial.last@, ... - can be used to login to your account, so treat as such.

• +Alias: receiving email in same inbox but splitting services like you+facebook@, ... - personally don't use them at all

• simplelogin alias: Hide email completely - use for everything, every service gets random address

• proton pass: uses simplelogin service in background, if I understand correctly - baked into proton service but not quite doing it for me, so I use simplelogin
