Temp mail with password

The free inbox below needs no password — it's anonymous and gone in 24 hours. Want a disposable address you can lock and come back to? That exists too.

The free inbox below needs no password — it's anonymous and gone in 24 hours. Want a disposable address you can lock and come back to? That exists too.
The search usually hides one of two wishes. Either you want to protect the inbox— so nobody else can open the address you're using — or you want to come back to it: keep the same disposable address alive past the timer and reopen it later. A plain throwaway inbox gives you neither, on purpose. It has no login to protect and it wipes itself on schedule.
Both wishes are solved the same way: attach the address to an account. Signing in — with a password or a one-time magic link — is what makes an inbox yoursrather than this browser tab's. TempMaily keeps the two tiers separate so each stays good at its job: the free inbox stays instant and anonymous, and a Premium account holds the addresses you want to keep and lock.
Not sure how long a free address survives? See how long a temporary email lasts.
Start free — the throwaway address at the top of this page is already live, no password needed.
Ready to keep one? Subscribe to Premium and sign in with a password or magic link.
Your addresses lock to the account: reopen the same inbox tomorrow, next week, on any device.
Premium is the account tier: up to 10 addresses at once, your own custom domains that stay off public disposable-mail blocklists, 2GB of mail storage, forwarding to your real inbox, and no forced 24-hour wipe — $9.90/mo or $90/year.
Go Premium
Custom domain, up to 10 addresses, 2GB storage, no ads — from $7.50/mo billed yearly.
Want your own domain on the address too? That's custom domain temp mail, included in the same plan. Full details on the pricing page.
Yes, by attaching the address to an account. A free TempMaily inbox is deliberately anonymous — there is no login, so there is nothing to protect with a password, and it deletes itself after 24 hours. A Premium account works the other way: you sign in with a password (or a magic link), your addresses are saved to that account, and only someone who can log in can open the inbox.
Because a password would defeat the point of the free tier. The free inbox exists so you can get an address in one second with no signup, no identity, and nothing stored about you. Adding a login would mean creating an account, which is exactly the friction temp mail removes. When you want the opposite trade — an address that persists and is locked to you — that is what accounts are for.
Some disposable-email services let you set a password on an inbox so you can reopen the same address later instead of losing it when the timer runs out. The idea is a returnable temp mail: still disposable in spirit, but protected and recoverable. On TempMaily that is an account-backed address — it stays yours across devices, doesn't get wiped on the 24-hour timer, and opens only after you sign in.
A free inbox is bound to your browser session, so another visitor doesn't see your mail by typing the same address later — but anyone who guesses or reuses an active shared-domain address while it lives could, in principle, receive mail meant for it. That is fine for a signup code and wrong for anything sensitive. A password-protected account inbox removes that overlap: the address belongs to your account and no one else can claim or open it.
You can sign in with a magic link instead: enter your account email and TempMaily sends a one-time login link, no password required. Your saved addresses and mail are tied to the account, not to the password, so recovering access recovers everything. This is also why an account inbox survives a lost device — sign in anywhere and the same addresses are waiting.
Less anonymous than the free tier, by design. An account stores one piece of identity — the email you log in with — plus billing details if you subscribe. In exchange the addresses themselves get more private in daily use: custom domains that aren't on public disposable-domain blocklists, no shared address space, and an inbox only you can open. Which trade is right depends on whether you need zero identity or a protected, reusable address.
