If you need to create a new email ID but don't want to use your primary address, you can create a unique name to use as your username. This can be done by using a combination of your name and a unique string of characters.
For example, if your name is John Doe, you might use "johndoe" as your username. You can then use this username to sign up for a new account on any website that requires an email address.
Sometimes the auto-generated temp email ID isn't quite what you need. Maybe you want a username that's easier to remember, a domain that looks more legitimate to the website you're signing up for, or just a custom email ID that matches the project you're working on. The Change Email feature lets you do all of that in seconds, with no signup required.
Pick your own username, choose from our list of available domains, and generate a fresh custom temp email ID that's instantly ready to receive messages. Everything you'd expect from the Email ID Creator — free use, real working inbox, no password, no tracking — works exactly the same with a custom address.
Creating a custom temp email takes three quick steps. No account, no password, no waiting.
Type the username you want before the @ symbol. Letters, numbers, dots, and dashes are supported.
Select a domain from the dropdown list. Multiple domains are available so you can avoid blocklists used by some sites.
Click change, and your custom temp email ID is live with a working inbox. Paste it anywhere you need an email.
If the username you want is already taken, just try a small variation or add a number. There's no limit on how many custom temp email IDs you can create.
A random auto-generated email works for one-off signups, but a custom temp email ID gives you more control in several common situations:
A custom username you chose yourself is much easier to type and remember if you need to come back and check the inbox later in the same session.
Some websites block known disposable email domains. Switching to a different domain in the dropdown often gets you past those filters.
Use custom usernames like "trial1", "forumsignup", or "testapp" to keep track of which temp email goes with which signup or task.
If you're testing a signup flow that needs specific email patterns or formatting, custom usernames let you simulate real user data quickly.
If you forgot the auto-generated address from earlier, you can recreate the same custom email ID by re-entering the username and domain.
Create several custom temp email IDs at once and keep them all active for different signups, trials, or test accounts without confusion.
A good custom username is short, easy to type, and unlikely to be in use already. Here are a few things to keep in mind when picking yours:
No. You can change your temp email ID as many times as you want. There are no daily limits, no caps, and no signup required to keep using the feature.
Lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), dots, and dashes are supported. Avoid uppercase letters, spaces, and special symbols like @, #, or $ — these aren't valid in email addresses.
If a custom temp email ID is already active in another session, you'll need to pick a slight variation — add a number, change the domain, or try a different word. The system will tell you when the address is available.
Yes. As long as the address hasn't been claimed by someone else in the meantime, you can enter the same username and domain combination to recreate the same temp email ID and check for new messages.
Some websites maintain blocklists of known disposable email domains. If your custom temp email is rejected, switch to a different domain from the dropdown and try again. Most blocklists don't cover every domain we offer.
Yes. Every feature on the Email ID Creator is free, including custom usernames and domain selection. No subscriptions, no premium tiers, no hidden fees.
