Email address generator

Open robojones opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

It would be nice if there was a email generator implemented in Strongbox. With services like anonaddy it is easy to setup catch-all email addresses in the form "*@username.anonaddy.me". In combination with the username generator which is already implemented this could be pretty convenient.

I imagine it working like this:

  • I set my custom domain "username.anonaddy.me" (or possibly multiple domains) in the database settings
  • When I create a new login, I first klick the button to generate a random user name "Robbin Tarbutton"
  • After that I click on the new button to generate a random email address
  • I am presented with a selection of email addresses to choose from: "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]" and my most used email address

This implementation would allow users to use anonymous email addresses without the need to speak to any third party API (so it's much easier to implement than #601). It would also allow users to host their own catch-all email under their own domain name.

Ohhh... I've accidentally "duplicated" this issue, but with kinda more compatible with some special services, not only custom domains solution: #630...
