Can this tool tell me whether a website is safe?
No. It gives a privacy-focused email recommendation based on your answers. You should still review the website, its privacy policy, and account recovery needs.
Decision helper
Signup Safety Checker
Answer a few simple questions to decide whether a signup should use your main email, an alias, or a temporary email.

How to use the recommendation
The checker is designed for email choice, not for judging an entire website. If a signup involves payments, health records, identity, government services, or long-term account access, temporary email is the wrong tool. For recurring but lower-risk services, an alias usually gives better privacy and recovery.
FAQ
When should I use my main email?
Use your main email for banking, healthcare, government services, paid accounts, identity-related services, and accounts you need to recover later.
When is a temporary email appropriate?
Temporary email is best for short-lived, low-risk tasks such as QA testing, demos, newsletter previews, and one-time verification where future account recovery is not important.
Is an email alias safer than temporary email?
Often, yes. An alias is better when you want privacy but still need future access, receipts, support messages, or password recovery.
Does ShieldMail encourage fake accounts?
No. ShieldMail is for privacy protection, spam prevention, testing, and responsible low-risk workflows only.
