The Naz.API dataset is a massive collection of 1 billion credentials compiled using credential stuffing lists and data stolen by information-stealing malware.
Credential stuffing lists are collections of login name and password pairs stolen from previous data breaches that are used to breach accounts on other sites.
Information-stealing malware attempts to steal a wide variety of data from an infected computer, including credentials saved in browsers, VPN clients, and FTP clients. This type of malware also attempts to steal SSH keys, credit cards, cookies, browsing history, and cryptocurrency wallets.

For Gmail users, you can add a plus sign to the end of your email username, and then any set of characters you’d like.
So if your address was FakeAddressDoNotUse@gmail.com, and wanted an easy-to-remember login for Hot Dog Hut, you could append it in the following way:
FakeAddressDoNotUse+HotDogHut@gmail.com
I used to use that approach, but found in the last several years more than half the web sites I use reject email addresses with “+” characters.
I even use several sites that used to take those addresses just fine now reject them. That made me wonder if some common JS package for parsing email addresses got changed.
That used to be my go-to method but I found it works less and less. Places know the gmail tricks and auto-strip them out of the address.
Started using Proton’s Hide-my-email and never going back. It’s time to move away from google anyways.
Many privacy centric mail companies now offer email aliases and temporary mail ids in built.
Step 1: drop gmail
Step 2: get proton mail and activate simple login or use one of the alias slots they give you (or both!). Enjoy.
Optional step 3: Use Firefox relay on top if you really want to go wild but I find this gets folks turned around when layered on top as well. Great for burner/1-time use emails though.b
