It’s easier to just create an alias. If you have a Gmail account you can just add a + to the address to create an alias that forwards to your inbox. This way you’ll have a running list of addresses you’ve already created, as well as making it easier to receive the confirmation email.
Example: address@gmail.com -> address+ubereats1@gmail.com
Apple software will create a new alias for you if you select Hide My Email during signup as well.
My setup is even easier and more stealthy, I have Google workspace attached to one of my domains and have Gmail configured to deliver any email sent to the domain to my main inbox regardless of what's before the @
So I can make up any email I need, on the spot, without exposing any part of my actual email AND circumvents detection (I have encountered online services that detect and rejects the "+")
A lot of services have got wise to that block +alias addresses, or at least treat them all as a single address. its_me+ubereats45@gmail.eggs is obviously an alias, but ubereats45@its_me.eggs is harder to detect.
