How to Receive Verification Emails and OTP Codes with Temp Mail
Using a temporary inbox to receive verification emails is one of the most popular reasons people use temp mail. Here’s how to do it safely—and what to do if a website blocks disposable domains.
Step-by-step: receive verification emails online
- Generate a temporary inbox on the homepage: TempMailbox
- Copy the email address and paste it into the website’s sign‑up form.
- Return to TempMailbox and refresh your inbox.
- Open the verification email and click the confirmation link (or copy the OTP code).
Why some sites block temp mail
- They want to reduce fake sign‑ups and spam accounts.
- They want users to be reachable long-term for billing or compliance.
- They use domain blocklists that include common disposable domains.
What to do if verification email doesn’t arrive
- Wait and refresh: some services delay delivery.
- Switch domains: if a domain is blocked, pick another available domain.
- Try a new inbox name: sometimes it helps when filters are aggressive.
- Request again: resend the verification email after switching.
When to avoid temp mail for verification
If an account is critical (banking, work, government, long-term subscriptions), use an email you control for recovery. Temporary inboxes are designed for short-term use.
