You want to open an account with a new internet service, but you would prefer not to use your usual email account. What are you doing? If you use Gmail, you can use some tricks to filter possible spam emails that arrive later. The most famous is adding a plus sign (“+”) to your email, but Google seems to be working on another alternative.
It is about a system called “Shielded Email” (“Armored Email”) that Android Authority has detected in beta version 24.45.33 of Google Play services. According to the text description, the feature is aimed at “keeping your email address private.”
This option appears to have been designed to be available when we create new accounts in Android applications. According to its description “it can protect you from online tracking and data theft.” It is not yet known if it will be used to create new accounts in web services, for example.
In any case, the idea is that the emails sent to us by those services in which we have registered reach our email, and we can deactivate this email forwarding whenever we want. To achieve the system creates various single-use aliases (or with a limited number of uses) that will forward the message to the main address. Thus, the real address is “camouflaged” with those aliases that function as auxiliary email addresses.
The feature is not really available at the moment and only its description appears in that beta version. However, that is usually a clear indication that it is in development and could appear soon. What is not clear at the moment is if it will be an option that all users can access or if perhaps Google offers it for subscribers of its Google One program.
