Temp Mail for Cursor: Try the Editor, Keep Your Inbox
Cursor is an AI-first code editor that most developers install to answer one question: is this better than what I already use? Signing in takes an email address, and the account is what carries your request allowance.
A disposable inbox gets you through verification. If Cursor earns a place in your daily work, move the account to a permanent address — your settings, your subscription and your password reset all live on it.
What Cursor actually sends you
Sign-in is by email, and it matters more than usual
Cursor authenticates through your account rather than a local licence file, so the address on it is how you get back in on a new machine. A dead inbox is a real problem here, not a minor one.
Your settings follow the account
Rules, model preferences and subscription state are tied to the login. Starting again on a new account means setting all of it up again.
Testing your own tool is the cleaner use
If you are building a developer tool with its own sign-up, a fresh inbox per test run is what an end-to-end test needs — and that is something our API does from code.
Trying Cursor with a disposable address
- Press Generate email address in the box above. No sign-up needed.
- Copy it and paste it into the Cursor sign-up or verification form.
- Wait a few seconds for the code or link to appear in the inbox above.
- Confirm your account. The address and its emails delete themselves after the timer runs out.
Cursor and temporary email: common questions
Can I reset my Cursor free requests with a new account?
No. Usage is tracked across more than the email address, and accounts created to reset limits are closed. The Pro plan exists for people who hit the free ceiling.
What happens if I lose access to the address?
You stay signed in on the machine you are using, but you cannot sign in on a new one or reset the password. For an editor you work in every day, that is a real risk.
Is a disposable address useful for testing my own dev tool?
Yes, and it is the best fit here. Our API creates an inbox, waits for the verification email and reads the code, so your signup test runs in CI without a person.
