FAQ
What improves my score the most?
Using aliases for recurring services, keeping recovery email safe, enabling two-factor authentication, and reserving temporary email for low-risk tasks are strong improvements.
Should I replace my main email with temporary email?
No. Your main email should remain protected and stable. Temporary email is for limited, short-lived, low-risk situations.
Do I need a paid service to improve privacy?
Not always. Better habits such as separating signups, unsubscribing from unwanted senders, and using aliases where available can help.
Does ShieldMail store my checklist answers?
No. This tool runs in your browser and does not require an account or send your answers to a backend.
