How do I copy a temporary email address?

Open TempMail.md, wait for the address to be generated, then use the copy button on the page. After copying it, keep the page open so the current inbox can show received mail.

Can a disposable email address be used for long-term accounts?

No. Temporary email addresses expire, and generating a new address replaces the current address. Important accounts, password recovery, two-factor recovery and long-term subscriptions should use a long-term inbox.
