Temporary email for verification & OTP codes

Genmail provides a temporary inbox that receives verification codes, magic links, and OTP emails like a normal mailbox, so you can complete one-time verification flows without giving services your permanent address.

Need a working inbox for a single confirmation step? Get an address that exists just long enough to complete verification—nothing permanent required.

No signup required for anonymous inboxes

Built for short flows

Perfect when a service emails a code or magic link and you do not want that vendor in your contacts forever.

Works like a real mailbox

Messages arrive immediately so you can finish signup, unlock a download, or confirm a change without delay.

Privacy by default

No profile to maintain. Fewer places your legal name and primary email appear together.

Verification without the hangover

Many products force email verification even when you will never log in again. A temporary inbox satisfies their requirement while keeping your real address off their marketing lists and out of their next data export.

Tips for a smooth verification

Open Genmail in one window and the service you are verifying in another. Trigger the email, refresh or wait for the message to appear, then complete the step before the inbox expires.
