Simple Login forward aliases should not be random

Open kzRjaADQQPdG4xNzYARZdJwycITusYynYJps5Kn opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Create a new entry in Bitwarden
  2. Go into username generator
  3. Select forwarded email alias
  4. Chose SimpleLogin provider (add your API key)
  5. Generate the alias

Expected Result

I expect the alias to contain the domain name of the website for which I created the alias (this is how behaves the web browser extension).

For instance, let's assume I follow the steps above from the web extension and create an entry from Amazon website. Here is the kind of result I can get: image You can see "amazon" in the email adress.

I would expect the same behavior on mobile app.

Actual Result

If I do this from the Android app, I get a complete random alias, like [email protected]. This makes it harder to track which adress is linked with which website.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

It seems in src/Core/Services/EmailForwarders/SimpleLoginForwarder.cs, you use the Simple Login API to generate a random alias.

You could instead use this POST method and pass the domain name to the alias_prefix parameter: https://github.com/simple-login/app/blob/master/docs/api.md#post-apiv3aliascustomnew

I am also having this exact same same issue.

Before the browser extension update, only the mobile was broken for this. The web browser extension would correctly generate a username that held the domain name.

Now, after the UI update, the browser extension is broken the same way.

This is an ongoing issue for me. Any progress on this?
