If it does not ask for a phone number, it could be a good alternative for temp email.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There are a lot of existing alternatives to temp mail, you shouldn't need to resort to anything he has to offer..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

There are but most of them are blocked anyways

You can create Google accounts without phone number using any Android device. Perhaps even emulator would do.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right, but then the account is inextricably tied to your Android device, no? Which is just as bad, if not worse imo.

But you can just use some old phone. Or perhaps emulator or something like Bliss OS installed on USB stick or in a VM.

But Google can and will probably link it with any device you log in on anyway. And after all, Android devices don't have to be used just by one person either. So perhaps removing the account from the device is good enough.

I think it starts to ask you for a phone number if you log in on a desktop?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't do that for me.
