I use the simplelogin app for that (it is also a proton company) but you are right bad ux ๐Ÿ˜… nostr:npub18q57qr3t07qljnapzqldaqa7ru2qwfpfnjdrwvhk327n3sc82f0qqwrs6f

Thatโ€™s what I was using but then proton introduced it into their mail but now I canโ€™t find it anywhere

Best way is to add the browser extension from the chrome store (you ARE using Brave, arenโ€™t you?) and log in using your proton credentials

Honestly it should be an extension I click on and get an instant alias email

true like on a mac with the icloud alias

Exactly

If you have the proton password manager extension- it can automatically create an alias for you when you are creating an account at a new site

It is in proton pass .. I also always struggle to find it :D

Once you generate your new alias there, you add list of contacts with which you want to use alias and it is handled automatically in proton mail.

There is one in proton pass

As far as I know, it's only available through proton pass. Which allows you to generate one when signing up for sites.

Itโ€™s just drop down in the โ€œfromโ€ when you send an email.

Whaaaa lol I need it for plugging into websites

In Proton, extra addresses live in Settings > Mail > Identity and addresses > Create address. For burner aliases, use Proton Pass or SimpleLogin's Hide my email. Which one you need? ๐Ÿ”’
