Purpose of Disposable Gmail Accounts
✅ 1. Quick Signups / Bypassing Registration
To access websites or download something without giving your real email.
Example: Signing up for a free trial or downloading an ebook.
✅ 2. Avoid Spam
To prevent spam in your real inbox.
Useful when you suspect a site might sell or misuse your email.
✅ 3. Email Testing & Development
Developers use throwaway emails to test app signups, email sending, etc.
✅ 4. Anonymity and Privacy
For forums, surveys, or contests where you don’t want to reveal identity.
✅ 5. One-time Use for Verification
You receive a verification code (OTP) or link and never use the email again.

? Where Are They Used Without a Password?
True disposable email accounts (like temp-mail.org, 10minutemail.com) don’t require a password because:
They’re not tied to a user — anyone can access them from the browser.
The email address and inbox live only in your browser tab temporarily.
Once closed or expired (after ~10–60 minutes), you lose access forever.
? Example Workflow:
1. Go to temp-mail.org
2. Copy the temp email: abc123@temp-mail.org
3. Use it to sign up for a site
4. Check the inbox in the same browser window
5. Email self-destructs or is wiped after a time

? Is it Gmail?
No. Disposable Gmail accounts are not real Gmail accounts. Gmail (by Google) always requires:
A password
Account recovery options
Terms of use compliance
Any email that looks like you@gmail.com but doesn't ask for a password is either:
Spoofed (fake)
Temporary alias used in dev/test
Third-party domain mimicking Gmail

⚠️ Legal and Ethical Notes
Using these for fraud, abuse, or impersonation is illegal.
Sites are starting to block temp emails — they’re easy to detect.
Never use them for accounts you care about (banking, personal logins, etc.)
