Gmail's New Shielded Email Feature Lets Users Create Aliases for Email Privacy [View all]
Nov 18, 2024

Google appears to be readying a new feature called Shielded Email that allows users to create email aliases when signing up for online services and better combat spam.
The feature was first reported by Android Authority last week following a teardown of the latest version of Google Play Services for Android.
The idea is to create unique, single-use email addresses that forward the messages to the associated primary account, thereby preventing the need for providing the real email address when filling out forms or registering for new services online.
