Temp Mail for ngrok: A Throwaway Account for a Quick Tunnel
Temp mail for ngrok: copy the free disposable address above, sign up on ngrok with it, and the verification email arrives in this inbox within seconds. Copy your authtoken and have a tunnel running in a minute.
ngrok exposes a service on your machine to the internet through a public URL. Developers use it to test webhooks, share a local site with a client or reach a home server. The agent needs an authtoken, and that means an account.
For a one-off test, a demo machine or a workshop, a disposable address gives you an authtoken without tying yet another account to your work email.
What ngrok actually sends you
Keep the authtoken private
The token lets anyone start tunnels as your account. Don't commit it to a repo or paste it into a shared script, and reset it when the test is over.
The free plan has limits
Free accounts get one static dev domain, limited bandwidth and an interstitial warning page on browser traffic. Paid plans remove these.
Don't expose what you can't secure
A tunnel makes a local service public. Add authentication or IP rules before exposing admin panels, databases or anything with real data.

ngrok and temporary email: common questions
Can I use ngrok without an account?
Not any more. The agent needs an authtoken, which comes from a signed-up account.
Does ngrok accept temp mail?
Some domains are accepted and some are refused. If one is refused, press New address to try a different domain.
Where do I find my ngrok authtoken?
In the ngrok dashboard after you verify the email. Run ngrok config add-authtoken followed by the token.
Should I use a temp email for production tunnels?
No. Billing, security alerts and account recovery go to the account email. Use one you will keep.
