Temp Mail for Lichess: Register and Start Playing in a Minute
Lichess temp mail, free and instant: copy the address above, register on lichess.org with it and the confirmation email arrives here, normally within seconds.
Lichess is a free, open-source chess site with no ads and no paid tiers: every feature, from puzzles to analysis and tournaments, is free for everyone. It does not need your email for marketing, it needs it to confirm the account and to let you reset your password.
A disposable address works well if you just want to play a few games, try a puzzle streak or join a friend's tournament without giving another site your personal email.
What Lichess actually sends you
Your rating is tied to the account
Games, ratings and puzzle history all stay on the login. If you plan to build a rating, add a permanent email in your preferences so you can always recover the password.
Multiple accounts are not allowed
Lichess allows one account per person. Extra accounts used to sandbag ratings, cheat or dodge a ban are closed, and Lichess is strict about it.
Playing without an account is possible
You can play casual games on Lichess without registering at all. An account is only needed for rated games, tournaments and saved history.
