“Hide my Email" integration

Nevertheless, additional support for Apple’s solution would be nice for many users, but I don’t think Apple offers an API to do this?

Indeed; as far as I'm aware, there are no APIs available that would allow us to offer an integration.

I am finding Hide My Mail to be really helpful, I'm an Apple user for all my devices so would not want to have to subscribe to something else.

I must admit I just assumed 1P would catch-up in due course and offer to add the Hide My Mail addresses to 1P, it will be quite disappointing if it is never coming :-(

It sounds like we need to petition Apple to allow third party integration with the Hide My Email service. I doubt they would be open to this though because a shady third part could defeat the purpose of the service by exposing the identity of the person masking their email. Perhaps they would partner with a select few companies such as 1PW though... I have no idea where to make such a service request though.

I looked at this over the weekend find that it does seem to work with 1P.

I've just visited a random shopping site and found the subscribe box and opted for Hide My Mail. Once I had accepted the Apple offered email address and it was entered into the subscribe box I had a save in 1P option which I chose. 1P then successfully added the new email address against the correct website.

I'm sure this needs to be explored further.

+1 to wanting a service not restricted to Fastmail. Great thing about Apple's is that the backend email can be hosted anywhere. Unless I'm mistaken, this Fastmail integration requires that the backend email be hosted by Fastmail. Right? There's also the open source service "SimpleLogin" that I'm sure 1Password could use as a backend for this capability.

Hi folks,

Thanks for your additional feedback on this.

@jbhardman:

Yes, using Masked Email with Fastmail requires that you're using a Fastmail email account.

@iwaddo:

While you can definitely create Hide My Email addresses and save them in 1Password, you won't be able to manage them directly from 1Password.

Hi, that is a good point and managing the addresses from 1P is not something I'd considered.

So far it has not been a problem and I'm struggling to think of a use case that would be a major issue for me though I am sure there will be one :-)

Seamless integration would ideal at some point.

+1 Granted maybe the blocker is Apple not providing an API to allow for this integration. I notice that "Hide My Email" is very hiden within Settings > iCloud > Hide My Email. Not very friendly for neither users or developers.

My #1 request from AgileBits. Don't think it's going to happen because of their integration with FastMail

Hey @userjorge, @mia,

Thank you for your feedback, I have passed it on to our product team.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with.
