Temp mail for Pinterest

Pinterest hides full-size images, search and most boards behind an account, and the account it gives you comes subscribed to some of the chattiest notification emails in the industry. A temporary address gets you through the gate and takes the noise with it when it expires.

How to sign up

  1. Generate an inbox on this page and copy the address.
  2. Choose "Continue with email" on the Pinterest sign-up screen and paste the address.
  3. Pick a password and age, then open the confirmation mail that arrives in this inbox.
  4. Click the confirmation link and dismiss the interest picker. The inbox can expire after that.

What it costs you

Trade-offBoards and saved pins live in the account, not in the browser, and Pinterest resets passwords only through the registered address. Treat everything you save on a temp-mail account as something you are willing to lose with the inbox.

Questions

Does Pinterest work without confirming the email?

You can browse for a while, but Pinterest nags on every visit and blocks some actions, including creating group boards, until the address is confirmed. The confirmation mail arrives within seconds, so it costs nothing to click it while the inbox is open.

Will I keep getting Pinterest emails after the inbox expires?

Pinterest keeps sending them, but they go to an address that no longer exists, so nobody receives anything. That is the point: the digest and recommendation mails die with the mailbox instead of landing in an inbox you care about.

Can I log in again later with a temporary address?

Yes, as long as you remember the password, because Pinterest only contacts the address for resets and confirmations. Forget the password after the inbox expires and the account is gone, since the reset link has nowhere to arrive.

What does Pinterest send to this address?

The confirmation link, password resets, and a heavy schedule of recommendation and activity digests that continue until you unsubscribe or the inbox expires, whichever comes first.

Can I switch the Pinterest email later?

Yes, from Settings → Account management, confirmed through the new address. Accounts created via Google or Facebook sign-in are tied to that provider instead and cannot be moved this way.

Does Pinterest need a phone number too?

No for a personal account. A business account asks for more detail before it will run ads, but ordinary browsing, pinning and board creation need nothing beyond a working email.

What happens to my boards when the inbox expires?

The boards stay on the account and stay public if you made them public. You simply lose the ability to reset the password, so save anything you would miss before the mailbox goes.
