Proton Pass has a similar feature, I love it. But Spotify had banned my account and asked me to email them from the alias to unlock it, which is not possible. So you should be careful with that. A lot of companies employ anti-privacy practices.

Were you using simplelogin.io, which is part of Proton? It is actually possible to reply or send mails from the aliases you create there. The feature is called reverse-alias.

Really? That wasn't obvious for me. I'll check it, thanks.

Did you check on phone so far? Because in the app it's not possible for me.

Nah, that's not urgent for me right now. But I logged in on the website and saw my email aliases, each had stat like 0 sent in the last 14 days - which implies that it should be possible to send one.
