New Shielded Email feature for Android phones creates an alias when signing up for new accounts.

Using an alias address creates a buffer between you and the service provider, which means fewer people have their hands on your main email.

The tool exists as part of Google ’s autofill features, alongside the same pop-ups that appear at the top of your keyboard to automatically type out phone numbers, credit card information and addresses.
