addy.io: email and account recovery

addy.io creates aliases that forward to your real inbox. The site says you can switch one off if it leaks or starts spamming you. It is not a replacement inbox.

The address that receives the links

Before you change providers, note the accounts whose reset mail arrives in the current inbox. The new address does not move them by itself.

What this page does not measure

Switching an alias off stops new mail to that address. It does not erase what the website already stored on its side.

SecuFocus did not send a real message with this service. Open a trial account, receive one reset link, and only then move an important address.
