  1. Randomuser.me-Node

    Source code that powers randomuser.me

    Currently I use Fastmail to host my own domain, and then for every new service I save the account in 1Password using [email protected]

    It's a bit extreme, but surprisingly little extra effort. That said, most of the accounts I create are throwaway.

    For phone numbers I have an old, unused Google voice number I give out. It's a real number, but never checked, except for once every 90? days, to keep it active.

    I'd love it if OnePassword integrated with something like https://randomuser.me to generate a new profile for every awful service that needs an account to work.

  3. postmapweb

    Web-based tool to delegate Postfix virtual alias map management to domain owners

    I do the same using self-hosted email, and wrote a web UI for Postfix virtual domain management to streamline this:

  4. SimpleLogin

    The SimpleLogin back-end and web app (by simple-login)

    Note that other than Mozilla’s Firefox Relay and Apple’s Hide My Email there's also SimpleLogin: https://simplelogin.io/

    Also the Bitwarden password manager has an integration for SimpleLogin.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
