An alias is useful because it can be a unique email address delivered to an inbox that you already monitor regularly. Whatever email address you use, its messages should be delivered to an inbox that you monitor regularly. So you still need to take care not to click on links, to only go to via the extension or a bookmark, etc. However, you are still at risk of a random phishing attempt against one of your other addresses. If you use a unique email address for 1Password then it will not appear in lists of addresses obtained from compromised websites. They can then send emails to those individual addresses trying to trick users into visiting a fake 1Password website or reverse proxy.
Using a unique email address for 1Password reduces the risk that you will be targetted by a phishing attack on your 1Password account.Īn attacker can check lists of email addresses against the 1Password web interface and, due to a hard to fix implementation issue, can tell which ones are associated with 1Password accounts.
