This is a Posttemp demo email to show how messages appear in your inbox. It is not affiliated with TikTok.

Temporary addresses can receive email only; you can't reply or send messages

Only Posttemp appears on signup forms;
your real email stays private

Your real email is used once to sign in without a password. After that, use a separate address for each game or community to receive verification codes.

Keep receiving codes

Up to 100 forwarding aliases,
so you can still get codes when recovering your account weeks later

Sign in with your real email to create aliases, and messages sent to each alias are automatically forwarded to your real inbox. Temporary addresses expire, but aliases stay active—so game account recovery codes go straight to your usual inbox.

Looks real

An address that looks like a person's email, not a random string

The address starts with a familiar name and numbers, followed by posttemp.com. Sign up without an address that immediately looks disposable.

A gaming alt's email timeline

Start with a temporary address to create your account. If you plan to keep playing, switch to a forwarding alias so account recovery won't leave you waiting for a code.

How long can I use a temporary address?

Each address lasts 3 hours by default. You can extend it up to 24 hours. After it expires, the address and all its messages are deleted and can't be recovered. To keep receiving email weeks later, sign up with a forwarding alias.

What's the difference between a forwarding alias and a temporary address?

A temporary address is ready to use as soon as you open the page. It expires, and you can read messages only on this page. A forwarding alias requires password-free sign-in with your real email. Once created, it forwards incoming messages to your real inbox. You can create up to 100 aliases per account and disable them from your dashboard.

Can signup websites see my real email?

No. Signup forms only show your Posttemp address or alias. Your real email is used only to receive your password-free sign-in code and as the forwarding destination for messages sent to your aliases.

Can I send or reply to emails from this address?

No. Posttemp temporary addresses and aliases are for receiving email only. You can't send messages or reply.

What if my verification code doesn't arrive?

First, check that the address on the signup page matches the one shown at the top of your inbox, then refresh. If the email still hasn't arrived, request another code on the signup page. If the issue continues, email the address and platform name to support@posttemp.com.

Your address is ready,
go create your next account

If you only need one verification code to create an account today, use a temporary address. Planning to stick around? Sign in and create a forwarding alias.
