1Password has introduced a new secure email feature that helps keep your real email address private from the apps and services you sign up for.

STOP giving out your real email address (do this instead)

Masked Email, developed in partnership with Fastmail, creates a new and unique email address on the fly, according to the company's blog post published Tuesday. The feature can be used to protect your email from breaches and keep it more private, or to limit the spam and promotional emails in your inbox.

“When prompted to enter an email address, 1Password will give you an option to create a new email address instead,” 1Password's blog post said.

“If you start receiving unwanted emails, you can easily identify which services have shared, leaked, or sold your email address.”
