Use Hide My Email on Mac
With Hide My Email, you can generate unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal email account, so you don’t have to share your real email address when filling out a form on the web or signing up for a newsletter. You can choose to forward emails to your iCloud Mail address or any email address associated with your Apple ID.
To learn what you can do with Hide My Email on your iOS and iPadOS devices and on iCloud.com, see Set up and use Hide My Email in iCloud+ on all your devices.
To use Hide My Email, you need to subscribe to iCloud+ or to Apple One, which includes iCloud+ and other services. See the Apple Support article Bundle Apple subscriptions with Apple One.
Note: iCloud+ may not be available in all countries or regions, and iCloud+ features may vary by area. See the macOS Feature Availability web page.
