Outlook accounts
Outlook allows creating email aliases—alternate email addresses that point to your main Outlook inbox.
Steps:
1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com
2. Navigate to Your Info → Sign-in preferences → Add email alias
3. Create a new alias (e.g., [email protected])
4. Use it for temporary signups
Pros:
Easy to create/delete
Emails go to your main account
You can manage or remove aliases later
Cons:
Still tied to your main Outlook account
Limited number of aliases allowed

? Alternative: Use Dedicated Disposable Email Services
If your goal is true anonymity and zero setup, you may want to use these instead:
Service Domain Example Features
10minutemail.com Random Auto-expires in 10 minutes
TempMail @tempmail.dev No signup required
Maildrop @maildrop.cc Public inboxes
Guerrilla Mail @sharklasers.com Custom aliases
These don't use Outlook, but are ideal for disposable use.
