What is an email mask?
An email mask is a forwarding address that keeps your real email address private. All emails sent to your email mask are forwarded to your real email without revealing it.
With Firefox Relay, you can create up to 5 email masks for use on various websites. These masks can be managed via the Relay dashboard, where you can choose which ones to receive forwarded emails from. This feature helps you maintain privacy, reduce spam, and keep your personal email secure.

What is a phone mask?
A phone mask is a premium feature that allows users to generate a unique phone number to use instead of their real number. This helps protect your privacy when you need to share a phone number online or with services you don't fully trust. All texts or calls will be forwarded to your real phone number without revealing it.
