It doesn't prevent spam or blocks in every case, but it tangibly shifts the balance of control against dominant platforms and services with opaque policies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It allows you to separate digital identity from specific services.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce the impact of data leaks and reuse data.<\/li>\n<li>It introduces real friction that forces you to decide when to use it and when not to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For this reason, I rarely provide my real email address when creating new accounts. I prefer to use an alias, even knowing that some services will block it or require additional verification. I find this operational cost acceptable compared to the constant exposure of my primary email address.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"que-es-un-alias-de-correo-electronico\">What an alias solves (and what it doesn't)<\/h2>\n<p>An alias redirects messages to your real account without revealing the original address, but it's not a complete anonymity layer or a universal solution. It works well for registrations, online purchases, and secondary services, but it's not suitable for bank accounts, work logins, or systems where identity recovery depends entirely on the original email address.<\/p>\n<p>The common mistake isn't technical, but rather a matter of judgment: using aliases without considering the context creates more friction than benefit. The real value emerges when it's used selectively, not as a complete replacement for the main email address.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"primer-simplelogin-ahora-proton-pass\">From SimpleLogin to Proton Pass: a practical experience<\/h2>\n<p>I started using aliases with <a href=\"https:\/\/simplelogin.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">SimpleLogin<\/a>KeePass, an open-source service that allowed me to create a different alias for each account. I managed them along with my passwords in password managers compatible with KeePass, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.gnome.org\/Secrets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Secrets<\/a> on PC and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keepassdx.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">KeePassDX<\/a> on mobile.<\/p>\n<p>When Proton acquired SimpleLogin, the change was positive for me. I was already using Proton Mail and Proton Calendar, and Proton Pass unified aliases, passwords, and accounts in a single environment. It doesn't eliminate locks or incompatibilities, but it reduces the management burden and makes the continued use of aliases viable.<\/p>\n<picture> <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/He-usado-este-truco-de-correo-electronico-durante-anos-y.jpg\" alt=\"Interfaz de Proton Pass abierta en un Galaxy Z Fold 6\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" title=\"\"><\/picture>\n<p>Proton Pass no es una soluci\u00f3n m\u00e1gica, pero alcanza un <a href=\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/en\/advanced-flow-android\/\" title=\"Advanced Flow Android: a balance between openness and control\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"34593\">equilibrio razonable entre control<\/a> y complejidad.
