Gary, I think you're right to point out the drawbacks of overusing HME, but I was surprised that you didn’t point out the function's memo field where you can record each address's target and any other relevant info. Anyone who wants to use HME a lot should be encouraged to get in the habit of writing those memos.
Under iCloud on my iPad, there is an iCloud+ hide my email section that lists all my email addresses and the sites they are used for. Small price to pay for privacy I think.
Yeah. He says IF you lose your login email but how exactly is that going to happen? It's privately and securely saved in iCloud for you and accessible by every device you own. With a little password security hygiene to never get locked out of your iCloud, you should never be locked out of anything. A better video would be about how to safely ensure you never get locked out of iCloud keys and how to manage and stay on top of them from any device, so you can use HME to your heart's content.
A better video would be about how to safely ensure you never get locked out of iCloud keys and how to manage and stay on top of them from any device, so you can use HME to your heart's content.
Yeah but aren't all your username/email logins saved in iCloud keychain? A better video would be about how to control and manage these keys so you never lose them and are on top of it all, in order to make the most of the feature.
iCloud + also allows a few email address if you use their service to host your own email address. I have 20+ hide my email addresses too now , all listed in setting on my mac osx and iOS devices under iCloud +
I use hide my email for almost all signup. Then if I don't get a bunch of spam after some time I will change to one of my "real" email addresses. Another problem with using hide my email is you can't send a new email from a created hide my email address. You can only reply to emails. So if you need to say contact support thru email you won't be able to use the created address for that website.
When it comes to financial, utility, insurance, government, and other such accounts they almost all provide secure messaging from your account profile or contact forms, and do not accept direct emails. Almost all the emails they send you have a no-reply return address.
I save the HME address in my password manager along with the password. Keeps me from having to type in the email address even if I need to reset my password. And of course the HME address is available in iCloud+ settings.
YEAH. This video is about IF you somehow lost that login data. HOWEVER. A better video would be about how to safely ensure you never get locked out of iCloud keys and how to manage and stay on top of them from any device, so you can use HME to your heart's content.
Yep! I signed up for classes late one night - tried out HME didn't write anything down. Opps, could never figure out how to get back on and was charged after my free week trial. Still haven't gotten anything useful from skillshare! Spent a l o n g time trying via emails and chats. Reseting it in an attempt means it is lost for good. I would add that if you use it, practice on something that doesn't ask for a payment! Great topic! Thank you. I didn't find it saved anywhere in my safari p.w. s. Update: I think what happened was that I had a very old MobileMe email address that faded into the background. I may have used it as a starting point for the hide my email log on and today I found that iCloud keychain only saves passwords for primary apple id / iCloud. ? not sure but that may explain why it wasn't in PW manager in safari.
How do you get around? This is by typing on a label on the hide my email window that comes up so you can then search for it in the iCloud settings. Hide my email list.
Number of ways to handle this easily. You’re supposed to give a name/label to the email address while setting it up. Can use a password manager to save the login email id. Can search the email inbox for the email from the particular service which has the ‘hide my email’ they used in the to field. Sounds like the person who lost their login just didn’t know where to look.
Yes, that can happen. That's why the word of caution here. Also remember who goes on at the other end. Someone asks the site owner why they can't login and all the site own can see is a "Hide My Email" address so they can't even find the account.
@@reefhound9902 Example: You call customer support. You can't log in. They ask: What is your email address? You tell them your real email address. They can't find it because you are using a Hide My Email address for that site but didn't realize that when you signed up (you just clicked the Sign in with Apple button). If you eventually realize it, you have to look it up now because you have no idea what the Hide Me Email address is for that account.
@@macmost First, I can count on one hand the number of times I've ever had to call customer support. Second, looking it up on that RARE occasion is well worth the significantly enhanced security. I get it. We all live at a different place on the Convenience-Security gradient and you live in the Convenience zone. A login, excluding 2FA, requires two pieces of information, user id and user password. By using the same "real" email that is widely available (how many friends did you give it to who synced their contacts with the likes of Facebook and Gmail?) you've gifted a bad actor one of those two pieces. It's important not to reuse ids for the exact same reason it's important not to reuse passwords.
I love your videos Gary, but on this one I think you did not balance the pros and cons. Users need to know how HME works, it’s perfect and has saved me headache with websites where you cannot unsubscribe. I just flick the switch in HME and all spam is gone.
That's the problem. Not knowing how it works is what is getting people into trouble. I often have people ask me about a course or Patreon account and they tell me their email address but it doesn't match up because they are using Hide My Email and don't realize it. If you know how it works, then great. This video is for others.
would not using a password manager help to keep track of the email addresses you have used and user names you have used? And isn't there a way to see all the different alias email addresses you have created and when to help track which email address you probably used for a particular site? just wondering. I am thinking of trying out this service. I just found out about it today.
I just have & use a Yahoo 'spam' account; 100% dedicated as a 'spam' address.... been doing so for ages. It offers a lot of flexibility. I can still get into it to send back verification/s and/or whatnot when need be.
When you create the email it will also add the info of the site (or you can add it manually) and you can find it back on your icloud account. Also the service sends you an email with the address. I like your videos but this is not a good one.
Right, you do have a record of it. But it hasn't stopped people from having problems. As a website owner I see this. As a user I'd rather use my real email address as my ID for legit sites that I like.
@@macmost But would be good to mention this is available to find and also how to use the labeling on these. People that don't know how to use this should not use it at all. I have hundreds of these email addresses. How do you know sites are legit. Even the best companies/services get hacked or someone makes a mistake. My old email generated 20-30 spam emails each day. No I can just simply inactivate the leaked/sold one.

Good points. This is why I use a password manager. Yes, it definitely is another step. Do you know if we can use a hide my email generated address for our iCloud user id?
Actually, I have like over 200 of these and it’s not a problem if you label it because you can always search your hide my email and if every site you sign up for you use a hide my email then you know that it’s gonna be in there, but I think the real problem is is if you need to email the company to verify that you’re you and they’re expecting you to email them with your hide my email sometimes it’s not easy to do a fresh email composing it with the hide my email. You have to reply to the original when you sent so that in my opinion is the real issue with hide my email also with sign in with Apple you can’t email them from your email address because they have a private address on file which gets forwarded so if they need to verify, they say we need you to send us an email from your email address that you signed up with well that’s an issue
I'm glad it isn't a problem for you, but for content creators and the like it has only gotten worse since I made this video. I frequently get people asking me to check someone on my Courses site, with the newsletter, or with Patreon and I can't match their email address to an account because they haven't realized they are using Hide My Email or Log On With Apple.
Totally frustrated - for no known reason, Apple is now sending *all* my emails out under an alias, even to known contacts and trusted sites. Cannot figure out how to disable. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
@@macmost Thank you for responding! It is either blank, or a mixed alphabet with no correlation to anything, and no domain. I should point out this is with my MacBook. My iPhone is fine.
@@surlygirly1926 You should be able to select there. Select the email address you want to send from. Then in Mail, Settings, Composing, set the default From email account/address.
hide my email is not good if your original apple email is different to when they set up apple i.d. originally. if you have not updated your apple i.d. email, you will never find or see emails from hide my email.
another issue with hide my is you cannot use such an email address to send out an email (if the website asks you to send details through email) using mail app. There is simply no way to do this. So you are stuck with the hide my email which you cannot use for anything. There are so many inconveniences that i have stopped using this service.
You can only if you used it to email a specific address in the first place. So if you email example@example.com and choose Hide My Email it creates one of these addresses. If you then email example@example.com again later and choose Hide My Email it uses that same private address. But it doesn't appear that if you sign up for an account at example.com and then decide to email support@example.com that there is any way to choose the sign up private email that was created.
How many HME's will Apple generate? Just one or is it a different one for each account you setup. It seems like it would be hard to determine which site is sending spam but would be useful in responding to Craigslist.
Everytime I have looked deep enough to find the info it has been the same 3 email addresses. Somewhere I saw it recommended to put in notes what email and what website if you use HME.
Sir if I have used hide my email to sign up for a site, and if I have to log out in the future and log back in, if i again choose the hide my email option, will it generate a new email or will it generate the email I have already used to sign up on that website, hence logging me back in ?
@@macmost in that case if I am faced with the situation like 3:05, I will click on the text box, it will give me an option for hide my mail, that will autofill the same email which was used for registration and then I will click on forgot password, the website will send the details for resetting the password on this random email which will be forwarded to me on my personal email. Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Thanks
@@macmost yes sir actually you were giving an example in the video regarding some people who lose their accounts due to hide my mail and then request help. I was actually interested in learning more about how this could happen, because they can always search for the hidden email address (if not autofilled) and reset its password.
@@namansingh4684 The problem is people don't realize they uses Hide My Email, or more likely "Sign In With Apple ID" and when they try to return to the site they try to log in with their real email address. You can protect yourself by remembering to log in the same way you did when you signed up originally.
Yes, that is an option. But if someone carelessly uses HME they certainly aren't going to carefully make notes each time. I'm glad you are organized enough to use HME properly, but this is for those that aren't even thinking about that.
I use a HideMyEmail address on my luggage tags when travelling. My luggage is ID’d and I’m not giving out personal info that can be used maliciously. If the HME address appears to have been compromised it’s not a big deal to generate a new HME and use that on your tags.
@@macmost I get your point, Gary, but I use trains and buses as well. Bags going astray in air travel would hopefully have my airline baggage ticket attached.
Wrong! It's sites that use your email as an ID where you most need to use an alias to hide your real email. Your real email address is out there all over the place, no matter how careful you are, and will be used by any hackers as your ID for breaking into any of your accounts. Everyone knows about the importance of not reusing user passwords but it's just as important not to reuse user ids.
I think you are talking about an entirely different issue than what I am talking about here. I am talking about people using Hide My Email and not realizing it, then they can't log in because they try to use their real email address the next time. And things related to the same misunderstanding.
@@macmost If you ALWAYS used Hide My Email then you would REALIZE it, no? It's your approach of sometimes using it for a login and sometimes not using it that leads to the uncertainty of whether you used it or not.
@@reefhound9902 You seem pretty aware of it, so no worries for you. But many people will use the Sign in with Apple button when they see it, and not realize they now have a special login for that site. Then other sites don't offer Sign in with Apple and they just use their regular email. For people that aren't hyper-aware of such things, it can cause confusion down the road. The purpose of this video is to let them know what is going on here.
@@macmost people that aren't willing to think about what they are doing and want to mindlessly click are not interested in privacy. Nothing about privacy and security is convenient.
Legitimate, real companies do get hacked, too and your real email may end up in a data dump on the internet. Also Hide My Email automatically attaches a name to the address that usually tells you what it was used for.
Yes, but having 100 different IDs for 100 different services isn't going to be easy or convenient. As for hacked services, I'm sure any email you are using is already in lists (unless you get absolutely zero junk mail to it).
Wow, deleting comments because I don't agree with you. This video is not very good. Use apple keychain password manager, usually when you create an account, it'll ask you to save the information. I recommend everyone to use Hide My Email, everywhere, all the time.
Go ahead, but know the risks. I already have some "lost" accounts on my courses site because of this. Given the rate I see people losing passwords, which would not be recoverable if the email address is also lost, I'm just putting out a warning here so people understand the other side to it.
Email ( eventually via blockchain) will alter the way we interact with the world (if not anything but for legal reasons) HideMyEmail is a step in that direction to safe encrypted communications and smart contracts…SPAM will be a thing of the past… Vendors on the other side of HideMyEmails need to keep better notes on who is what email. ..that just the way of life now… Apple settings tell you where an email was created Date and which website on safari…also has place to stash notes for each email…HideMyEmail is definitely an improvement to begin to trust email again due to all the spam from Africa…err is that the nsa?.

@@macmost If you ALWAYS used Hide My Email then you would REALIZE it, no? It's your approach of sometimes using it for a login and sometimes not using it that leads to the uncertainty of whether you used it or not.
@@reefhound9902 You seem pretty aware of it, so no worries for you. But many people will use the Sign in with Apple button when they see it, and not realize they now have a special login for that site. Then other sites don't offer Sign in with Apple and they just use their regular email. For people that aren't hyper-aware of such things, it can cause confusion down the road. The purpose of this video is to let them know what is going on here.
@@macmost people that aren't willing to think about what they are doing and want to mindlessly click are not interested in privacy. Nothing about privacy and security is convenient.
Gary jumped the shark on today's video. Bogus information and information that shouldn't be intended for his target audience.
What is "bogus" about this information? You are making a pretty serious accusation here and not giving any details.
Legitimate, real companies do get hacked, too and your real email may end up in a data dump on the internet. Also Hide My Email automatically attaches a name to the address that usually tells you what it was used for.
Yes, but having 100 different IDs for 100 different services isn't going to be easy or convenient. As for hacked services, I'm sure any email you are using is already in lists (unless you get absolutely zero junk mail to it).
How do I complete remove it from my Mac book?
Wow, deleting comments because I don't agree with you. This video is not very good. Use apple keychain password manager, usually when you create an account, it'll ask you to save the information. I recommend everyone to use Hide My Email, everywhere, all the time.
Go ahead, but know the risks. I already have some "lost" accounts on my courses site because of this. Given the rate I see people losing passwords, which would not be recoverable if the email address is also lost, I'm just putting out a warning here so people understand the other side to it.
A great way to lose all your crypto billions.
Email ( eventually via blockchain) will alter the way we interact with the world (if not anything but for legal reasons) HideMyEmail is a step in that direction to safe encrypted communications and smart contracts…SPAM will be a thing of the past… Vendors on the other side of HideMyEmails need to keep better notes on who is what email. ..that just the way of life now… Apple settings tell you where an email was created Date and which website on safari…also has place to stash notes for each email…HideMyEmail is definitely an improvement to begin to trust email again due to all the spam from Africa…err is that the nsa?.
