dumb question - use don't use this hide my email feature on shopping sites like kmart do you?

if you use a unique email for every site you log on, how do you remember all the email names you've created?

Side-topic, but icloud account email is different to the one used to sign up correct? E.g. using gmail as the login email but it would have it’s own different icloud mail address.

I was curious to using hidemyemail as it popped up on my iphone as a recommendation. But I’ve never setup icloud email or used it before.

I use gmail for icloud. It just forwards onto my gmail address.
