A link to the chrome extension on the landing page would be quite useful (Otherwise visitors need to go to the chrome web store and search for it...and some of them are too lazy to do it). But otherwise I really like the idea. I'll give it a try ;) P.S. here's the link for the extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nbox-your-registra...

Hi bigtunacan, thanks for your feedback. 1) "That's going to be a pain in the ass to remember": the extensions are there so you don't have to. 2) "how do I login?": we're currently developing this side the service. 3) See 2) 4) We're planning on proposing mobile apps too. To put it into context, nBox is fairly new and we did not implement all our ideas before knowing if people were gonna be interested.
The service is fine as-is. It sounds like a perfect complement for a password manager like LastPass or 1Password. All the points brought up are addressed by the password manager: sync across multiple devices, use multiple browsers, etc. A password manager generates random data for the password textbox. Your extension generates random data for the email textbox. Perfect!

Hi iliketosleep, to allow the notifications a small window should appear at the top of the page. But not all browsers have implemented this feature. What device and browser do you use?
I'm using the latest version of firefox on win7. Upon further investigation, I think I know what happened now. There's a tiny box at the left of the address bar that enables me to unblock notifications for the site. Which means I must have automatically pressed the "disallow" button before even reading anything (a reflex response!). If I was you, I'd have an option to see a screenshot showing how to unblock notificat…
I've been using 33mail.com for years for this. I just give it an address like "hackernews@username.33mail.com" and it forwards email. If hackernews ever starts spamming, 33mail gives me a link to block it. I love that service, it's saved me countless headaches.
- email are less guessable with nBox
- if 33mail gets hacked, spammers will get your email address
This seems like it's almost "1Password for Email Addresses," which would be pretty great: go to site, hit key combination, have random/saved email inserted into login boxes. Combining that with email forwarding to my real email address that I can turn on and off is pretty powerful.
I've had a catch-all for *@mydomain.com forward to my primary email address for 10+ years. In that time I signed up for services and websites with [domain]@mydomain.com thinking I'd catch all those dirty scoundrels selling my email address and have an easy way to filter unwanted mail. But you know what really happened? I wound up with hard to remember email logins and caught less than a handful of services sharing my…
If the service is down or I want to stop using it I'm totally screwed, though. Usually if I forget the password to a service they can send me a reset link, what would my options be with NBox?
We're currently working on the "account creation" part of nBox.

Hi dmitrygr, the idea is not new, but the link you gave is for disposable email addresses, which are public. That's a different use-case from nBox, where the addresses are private.
use a uuid - it is as private as imaginable - you'll never guess mine
