Gmail's "plus addressing" is a feature that allows you to add a plus (+) sign and any sequence of letters or numbers to the end of your Gmail address. For example, username+fb@gmail.com will reach your username@gmail.com inbox.
How it Works
When Google's servers see a plus sign in an email address, they ignore everything between the plus and the @ symbol. This effectively means you have nearly infinite email addresses that all point to your one main account.
Key Benefits
- Filter by Source: Create a filter so that all mail sent to username+bills@gmail.com goes to a "Bills" folder automatically.
- Identify Data Leaks: If you sign up for a sketchy site using username+sketchy@gmail.com and then get spam sent to that address from someone else, you know who sold your data.
- Temporary IDs: Use short-lived aliases for signups that require email verification.
