Temp mail with a password, so you can come back

Why a password matters for temp mail

Most temporary email services give you an inbox that anyone with the address can read, or one that disappears when you close the tab. A password fixes both: only you can open the inbox, and you can open it again later.

How it works

• When you create an inbox, Poofy generates a strong password and stores only a one-way hash of it.
• Your browser keeps the address and password locally, so the inbox is one click away next time.
• On a new device, log in with the address and password. You can also download all your inbox credentials as a file.

Keep it safe

Anyone with the password can read the inbox, so treat it like any other password. You can also share an inbox read-only with a revocable link instead of giving out the password.

Three ways to get back into an inbox

1. The same browser. Poofy remembers your inboxes, so they're one click away under My inboxes.
2. Another device. Open the login page and enter the inbox address and its password.
3. A saved file. Use Download all credentials to keep a copy of every address and password somewhere safe, like a password manager.

Why we don't just email you a reset link

There's no account and no recovery address, which is exactly why Poofy is private. The trade-off is that we can't reset a lost password, because we only store a one-way hash of it. Save your credentials when you create an inbox, and you'll never be locked out.

Share an inbox without sharing the password

Need a friend or client to see one inbox? Create a read-only share link instead. It opens that single inbox, can't change or delete anything, and you can revoke it at any time. More about how temporary inboxes work is in what is temp mail.
