Brave has added an Email Aliases feature to version 1.94 of its browser, BleepingComputer reports, giving users a way to create disposable addresses when registering for online services. The alias keeps the user’s real email address away from the website while still forwarding messages to the user’s primary inbox. The feature targets a privacy gap that browser-level isolation does not fully solve. Brave already uses data isolation to limit cookie- and cache-based correlation across sites, according to BleepingComputer’s report, but email addresses remain durable identifiers stored on website servers. If that address is reused widely, it can become a cross-site tracking handle and a long-lived input for spam or phishing after a breach. To use the feature, users need a free Brave Account and must register their primary email address so forwarding can work. BleepingComputer notes that this account is separate from a Brave Premium account. Brave’s account system also introduces a specific authentication design. According to BleepingComputer, Brave said Brave Accounts uses OPAQUE, a password-authenticated key exchange standardized as RFC 9807, so users can authenticate without transmitting passwords or password hashes to Brave’s servers. Brave says that reduces exposure to password logging, memory-scraping attacks and bulk cracking of leaked password databases, though it does not solve phishing or weak-password risk. The initial alias product is free for up to five email aliases. Brave says it plans to introduce a paid Premium version later that lifts that cap, according to BleepingComputer. Brave is also making privacy claims about how forwarding is handled. BleepingComputer reports that Brave stores the primary address and generated aliases in encrypted form, and says forwarded messages are not inspected beyond automated spam and malware filtering. Messages are deleted from Brave’s servers within seconds after delivery, while notes attached to aliases stay local or, if synced through Brave Sync, are end-to-end encrypted. There is one operational caveat for early users: Brave warned that forwarded messages may initially be routed to spam folders while it builds its reputation as an email provider. That makes the launch useful but not frictionless, especially for sign-ups where account verification emails need to arrive quickly. Who benefits: Privacy-conscious Brave users benefit most, especially those who want to limit reuse of a primary email address across services. Brave also gains another browser-level privacy feature tied to Brave Accounts. Who's exposed: Websites and data brokers get less direct access to a user’s primary email address when aliases are used. Users remain exposed to phishing and weak passwords, which Brave itself says OPAQUE does not prevent.
