Definition
💡 An alternative email address (email alias) is an additional email account that a user can provide to serve as a backup for communication and account recovery purposes. This address can be used to receive notifications, verify identity, and reset passwords if access to the primary email account is lost.
Example
For example, if you use Gmail as your primary email, you might add an Outlook or a Yahoo Mail address as your alternative email. This alternative email can be used for account recovery and to receive critical updates if your primary email becomes inaccessible.
For instance, in Gmail settings, you can easily add and manage an alternative email address to enhance your account security and recovery options.
