Not knocking the system, quite thrilled by it personally: the other option is Google or Facebook at this point and if I got off OAuth and email with Google (leaning towards buying a personal domain and going with proton mail or similar, may wait until this built in burner option is available), I could probably rid myself of them (Facebook is more of a mental break I’d need to make, honestly). I’d love this.
I’ve personally tried personal burner email addresses for forums sign ups but the thing I found is that it is a maintenance (if that’s the correct word) nightmare. If you go with the ones that last for a brief period of time, you better guard the credentials because there’s no clicking forget password.
I’m hopeful of the feature, but even if it proves to not be that great, I’d still rather they be my identity provider over Facebook or Google so it’ll still feel like a net win.
The problem with burner address servers:
* They don't protect against fake addresses (which is why many services actually block them)
* They are much harder for regular users to use
* They're annoying to use, and fundamentally require providing your email address to yet another third party
Apple Sign-In clearly make the use of cloaking addresses much easier.
Again this still only applies to "social" logins, you're welcome to have your own login system.
