The Web provides a great place to communicate to a wide range of people. It's also a great place to lose your identity and become incognito. You can easily create a different persona with a secret email address by creating an account at one of the Web's popular email services. It takes only a few minutes to set up a secret email address.
Step 1
Open your web browser and go to a site such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, AOL or Hotmail, all of which provide free email services.
