A <strong>disposable mailbox</strong> lasts for a few hours: you use it to receive a confirmation code and then it disappears. An <strong>alias</strong> is a permanent address that forwards mail to your real inbox, which you can turn off once spam starts coming in. In most cases, the second one is what you actually need. </div> <p>Choosing the wrong one is why many people get locked out of their accounts: they registered for a service they wanted to keep using a temporary mailbox, and when it came time to recover their password, the address no longer existed.</p>
