How to Get iCloud’s Hide My Email Feature on Windows

Firefox offers a great service called Relay that does exactly what Apple’s Hide My Email promises to do. It’s a free and simple service that lets you create new aliases random IDs (up to 5), for your personal email address.

And then, it forwards emails sent to your personal ID without exposing your original email address.

1. First off, navigate to Firefox Relay (visit website) and create an account using your personal email address.

2. If you are a Firefox user, you can also install the Firefox add-on for Relay (Free) and then proceed to create an account.

3. Next, you will receive a verification code on your personal email ID. So open your inbox and enter the code to confirm the address.

4. Now, you will log in to the Firefox Relay dashboard. To create a random address, click on “Generate New Alias” and that’s it. Copy the random email address, and you can use the same on any sign-up form. You can create a total of 5 aliases.

5. If you are a Firefox user and have installed the extension, a Relay icon will appear in the email field. Click on it, followed by “Generate New Alias”, and a random email address will appear in the text field then and there.

6. Here is a brief demo. I sent an email using the alias, and it successfully reached my personal inbox forwarded through Firefox Relay.

7. If you want to stop forwarding emails from a particular alias, you can disable or delete it, and emails won’t reach you. This way, you will be in complete control over your identity as well as your inbox.
