Been using Hide My Email from Apple’s iCloud and I’ve been really loving it!

Semi permanent fake addresses ending in @icloud.com that forward to my gmail address. Apple is also one of the few companies I’d probably trust to the task.

Wish it was a standalone app rather than buried in the settings menu.

I could say the same about Passwords. I'm happy that they * finally * got passwords out of that relic called Keychain Access and into the System Preferences, but they could do even more.

I hope to see an actual "online security" center on iOS and macOS within 2 years, with passwords, temporary emails, even learning material.

I also wish they had a standalone app to help manage the addresses. Like so many of their good features, eg password management, it can be a bit too hidden for those up us who want some control!
