Real Gmail addresses
Addresses on gmail.com and googlemail.com, which sites accept far more often than throwaway domains that block lists already know.
Your temporary Gmail address
Live inbox
Inbox
No address yet
How to receive an OTP in three steps
- 1
Generate a temp mail address
Press Generate for a real Gmail address. Pick dots, +plus, Googlemail or a custom domain if a site is picky about disposable email.
- 2
Use it on any website
Paste it into the sign-up or login form and ask the site to send a verification code. No account and no password are needed.
- 3
Get your OTP here
Come back and press Refresh. The inbox is checked as you return to the tab, and the one-time code is shown on the message, ready to copy.
Everything you need from a temp mail
Automatic OTP detection
Finds the one-time code in the subject or the body, and shows it next to the message, so one click copies it and there is nothing to read out by hand.
Full email viewer
Read the complete message with its images, open its links and download attachments, not just a stripped-down preview.
Bulk addresses
Create up to 500 temporary addresses at once and copy or download the whole list as a text file for testing.
No sign-up
No account, no password and no email of your own. Your recent addresses are remembered in this browser only.
Safe by design
Emails open in a sandbox with scripts turned off, and the API key stays on the server where visitors cannot reach it.
What people use a temporary email for
Sign-ups you do not want in your inbox
Trials, downloads, forums, coupon codes and one-off accounts. Give a temporary address instead of your own and the marketing mail has nowhere to arrive.
Receiving an OTP online
Plenty of sites only want an email address to send a verification code to. Generate one here, read the code here, and close the tab.
Testing what you build
Sign-up flows, password resets and welcome emails need fresh addresses every run. Bulk makes 500 at a time, and the viewer shows the mail exactly as it arrived.
Keeping your real address off lists
An address you never reuse cannot be tied back to you, sold on, or matched against a leak from somewhere else.

The Gmail dot trick, explained
Gmail ignores dots before the @, so one mailbox answers to thousands of addresses. How the trick works, what it is good for, and where it stops working.
Frequently asked questions
What is temp mail?
Temp mail is a disposable email address you use once and abandon. It takes no sign-up and no password, so you can receive a verification code or confirm an account without handing over your real address. This site gives you temp mail on real gmail.com addresses rather than a throwaway domain.
What is a temporary Gmail address?
It is a disposable address that still ends in gmail.com or googlemail.com, delivered through a shared Gmail account. Because the domain is Google’s own, websites accept it far more often than addresses on domains that appear on disposable-email block lists.
How do I receive an OTP with a temporary email?
Generate an address, paste it into the website asking for one, then come back and press Refresh. The code is picked out of the email and shown next to it, so one click copies it.
Is temp mail free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no payment and no advert wall. The email service behind it has a shared request limit, so if it runs out, it works again once the limit resets.
Is temp mail safe to use?
It is safe for what it is meant for: throwaway sign-ups and verification codes. It is not private. Public addresses run on shared accounts, so anyone who knows the address can read what arrives at it. Never use a temporary address for banking, government services, work accounts, or anything you would mind a stranger reading.
How long does a temporary address last?
Treat it as short-term. Your recent addresses are saved in this browser so you can reopen an inbox later in the day, but the provider may recycle an address at any time, and mail sent to it after that is gone.
Why did a website reject my temporary email?
Some sites refuse plus-addresses, and some check incoming addresses against lists of known disposable domains. Switch the style to Gmail dots, which look like ordinary addresses, or try the private account pool. Real gmail.com addresses get through in most cases where a throwaway domain does not.
What is the Gmail dot trick?
Gmail ignores dots in the part before the @, so john.smith@gmail.com and johnsmith@gmail.com reach the same inbox. Moving the dots around gives you addresses that look different to a website but arrive in one place. This site generates them for you, along with +plus addresses and the googlemail.com spelling.
Can I create many addresses at once?
Yes. Bulk creates up to 500 addresses in one go, and you can copy them all or download them as a text file. It costs one request rather than 500, which makes it the sensible option when you are testing a sign-up flow.
Can I reply to an email or send mail from a temp address?
No. These addresses receive only. That is deliberate: a receive-only address cannot be used to send spam in your name, which is part of why sites accept them.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The site is built for small screens, and there is an Android app if you would rather have it a tap away, with the code copied ready to paste into whatever asked for it.
