  1. How can I unlink SimpleLogin from Proton?

    From the beginning I used my Proton credentials to log into SimpleLogin so I think that unlinking might not be possible but I’m still trying anyway. Anyone know if it’s possible? I’d rather only pay for SimpleLogin.

  2. Registration completion

    I was registering for SimpleLogin and was presented with a challenge from hCAPTCHA, which I understand from prior reading, is used to program AI. Dump it and use something like CloudFlare or (like) the click-/press-and-hold challenge seen at WalMart.com.

  3. Advice on alias naming strategy

    I am just starting out with SimpleLogin and aliases with a custom domain. My goal is controlling how my email address is used, knowing who leaks and also as a level of phishing protection (I.E. if a message claims to be from a certain sender, it should arrive via a specific address, if it came via another address its…

  4. SimpleLogin reads your incoming emails and bans for alias usage

    SimpleLogin seems to read incoming emails and threaten to ban your account for using the alias feature. Privy is used by many platforms as their auth backend. Signing up with a new alias to different sites that use Privy seems to break SimpleLogin TOS (even though we are just using the product as intended).

  5. What happens to aliases if service shutdown

    I have my own personal domain bought through porkbun that I have added to simplelogin using SL premium. I do have a free proton mail address which is only used for one account. My intention is to use my domain on SL and create a unique alias for each one of my accounts, around 150 and have emails go into the proton…

  6. Personal domain

    Hello, It is best not to use a main domain with a personal domain, but rather a subdomain. For what? Would SimpleLogin's service be less reliable than that of the mail server? I admit that for many, I would prefer to use my main domain; what are the consequences?

  7. Open-source bridge for managing SimpleLogin aliases from AI assistants

    I’ve used SimpleLogin for years and made a small integration for people who also use AI assistants: github.com/enthouan/simplelogin-mcp. Originally built prompted for myself, but I figured I’d share it in case anyone else has the same use case.

  8. SimpleLogin UI looks broken on iOS 26 and iOS 27

    Has anyone else noticed UI issues with the SimpleLogin app on iOS 26 and iOS 27? As shown in the screenshot, the bottom navigation bar looks off, with inconsistent spacing and an oversized background behind the “My account” tab. The content near the top of the Settings screen also appears blurred beneath the header.

  9. Issues with SimpleLogin and Claude.ai

    I created 3-4 Claude accounts via simple login to keep my activities separated. I know many accounts are not allowed but 3-4 seems kinda 'ok'. But I got an email from SL saying they will disable my account if I create more accounts. Which I was not intending to do.

  10. Emails bouncing?

    Hello, I have been using SImplelogin for like 2 years without issues. Tonight all of my aliases seem to bounce. I have tested several alias emails I have at slmail.me and another at 8shield.net but both ended up bouncing back as undeliverable. Anyone else seeing these issues?

  11. Emails bounced at simple login: extremely unpractical

    I have filters on my gmail account that always let simplelogin emails go through. But when they are blocked on arrival at Simple Login, having that screen where you can only download a.zip to extract to read an.eml is highly unpractical. Why can't I just read the mail online at this page??

  13. Email cannot be sent to (…) from your alias

    Im loosing my mind here. I thought I found the perfect solution for my needs by getting my own domain and connecting it via SimpleLogin. I have a catch all setup and it works perfectly. I don’t get any spam. But I cannot for the life of me reply to any mail that comes in through simplelogin. Every. single. Mail.

  14. Confirm creation of new auto-created alias

    This feature comes from MailGW, that has that option and has prevented me from receiving spam or emails incorrectly sent to me (occasionally someone mistakenly picks my name, or mailgw instead of something else). If an alias is auto-created I receive an email informing.

  15. SimpleLogin/Addy or email provider...?

    I already have a few domains on SL, while my main one is on Proton Mail. I’m looking to cut down on my overall email subscription costs, so I’m wondering what setup makes the most sense. I don’t do much emailing I’m not sending emails to people 10 times a day or anything. I mostly receive emails.
