Generate a username

To create a random username from specified criteria, use the Bravura Safe Generator.

Plus addressed email

Use your email provider's sub-addressing capabilities to generate a random username based on your specified Email address.

This can be used to filter your plus-addressed emails for any junk mail you may receive when signing up for a new service. Signing up for a service with the username jane+rn0k6xsh@bravurasecurity.safe.com will still send emails to jane@bravurasecurity.safe.com, but you can then filter emails that include +rnok6xsh to prevent them from filling your inbox.

Catch-all email

In some cases, catch-all inboxes are used by companies with their own Domain name (for example, @safe.bravurasecurity.com), to prevent emails from going to your specific inbox and instead route them to a shared company inbox in case a record of them is needed in the future.

In other cases, individuals with their own domain (for example, @personaldomain.com), use catch-all setups to route email from accounts with privacy-oriented usernames; for example, twitter.com@personaldomain.com to their actual inbox.
