Yeah but without email aliases it would not be worth it
Bitwarden integrates directly with several email alias providers: https://bitwarden.com/blog/add-privacy-and-security-using-email-aliases-with-bitwarden/
That might be worth it. Is bitwarden self hosted FOSS?
It is.
Tuta has a catch-all option that you could consider. Makes it so you can make any email address under your domain and it’ll get to your mailbox.
What do you mean by email aliases?
Every account I have on the internet has a unique randomly generated email that forwards to my real email.
iCloud and Proton are the two big names that support this. It’s invaluable.
I’ve been using neomailbox for almost 10 years for this, so maybe check them out
There are other options for email aliases. iCloud has a pretty robust system, and its ubiquity makes it less likely to be filtered.
If it’s an unknown or less popular service they are less likely to add it to a blacklist IME
True, but that’s defense by concealment. If they notice the domain, they can block it without harming their business. My argument is that iCloud is too large for them to block.
People have still blocked my iCloud.
What do you mean by that?
They have given me errors when trying to register with a hidden iCloud email.
Ah, I see the confusion. Originally you mentioned two Proton services, password manager and email provider. The person who replied to you suggested two alternative password managers (one commercial, the other one FOSS). You then replied saying without a specific email feature it would be pointless, which would be fair for an alternative email provider but doesn’t apply in this case.
Well since in proton the email alias feature is integrated into the password manager (which is really useful) I don’t see them as that unlinked. It would be like having a password manager without the ability to make random passwords, basically pointless. One compromised service and my email will be spammed across the internet until the end of time.
