Question 1

What is a temporary / disposable email address?

Accepted Answer

A temporary or disposable email address is a fully functional mailbox generated for a brief session. It allows you to register on sites, download resources, or complete verification flows without sharing your personal, permanent email address, successfully shielding you from spam.

Question 2

How long do TempNova email addresses last?

Accepted Answer

On TempNova, the visual countdown session timer is set to 60 minutes, which you can renew/extend indefinitely by clicking the renew button next to your active tab. Inboxes remain active on our temporary mail servers until the system or active domain changes, usually lasting for days if you keep your browser session active.

Question 3

Are my temporary emails secure and private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TempNova acts as a secure, stateless client. We do not store or read your emails on our own servers. Emails are fetched directly from our secure API over HTTPS. Registered users can save credentials in their encrypted Supabase tables, but guest inboxes reside only in your local browser.

Question 4

Can I send or reply to emails from my temporary address?

Accepted Answer

To prevent abuse and email phishing, TempNova only supports receiving incoming emails. Sending outbound emails is strictly blocked.

Question 5

How does the Temporary Mobile SMS number service work?

Accepted Answer

Our temporary numbers are virtualized mobile lines connected directly to standard SIM cellular networks. Once generated, you can copy the number, paste it into any web application or registration gateway, and listen to incoming texts on our active dashboard feed in real time.
