[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Most people don't know this Gmail trick. If your email is kevinstratford at gmail.com, you can add a plus sign like kevinstratfordplusshopping at gmail.com. Gmail sends it to the same inbox but remembers what comes after the plus. That lets you automatically filter emails. And if spam shows up, you know exactly who shared your address. One inbox, but unlimited addresses.

Arow Summary
A tip for Gmail users: you can append a “+tag” to your Gmail address (e.g., kevinstratford+shopping@gmail.com). Messages still arrive in the same inbox, but the tag is preserved, allowing you to create filters and track which sites shared or leaked your address. This effectively gives you unlimited alias addresses from one account.
