A username that gives nothing away
Make a random handle, or an email alias that still reaches your inbox. Everything is made in your browser, and nothing is sent to our servers
Generated result
Optional static text before or after the generated part. Letters, numbers, dots, dashes, and underscores only
Enter the inbox you want to extend with a plus tag
Generates a random address at the domain you own with catch-all forwarding enabled
Leave the tag blank for a random word or string, or enter your own label. Works for plus addresses and catch-all domains
What a username gives away
Usernames are usually public, and people reuse them. A handle built from your own details tells strangers more than you meant to share
- Your real name, which anyone can search for
- A number that looks like a birth year
- The same handle on every site, which links your accounts together
A generated one says nothing about you, and you can make a new one for every site
Smarter usernames in practice
-
Skip the obvious patterns
Avoid first name, last initial, and birth year combos. They are easy to guess and often already taken.
-
Use a different username per site
When a site allows it, treat usernames like passwords. Reuse makes one leak useful everywhere.
-
Try an alias for email logins
Plus addressing and catch-all domains let you filter sign-ups and spot who shared your address.
