Free Temporary Email for Medium
Read Medium articles without creating a permanent account. Perfect for accessing paywalled content.
Medium's login system is passwordless: instead of a password, it emails you a magic sign-in link every time you log in. That design is exactly why a disposable inbox pairs so well with it for one-off reading — you enter a temp address, click the link that arrives seconds later, and you're signed in with zero credentials created. Once you have an account, Medium's Daily Digest starts arriving (a famously persistent recommendation email), along with author notifications and membership upsells, all of which conveniently die with the mailbox.
Understand the trade-off, because it cuts both ways with passwordless login: when the temp mailbox expires, you cannot sign in to that Medium account ever again — there's no password to fall back on, and the next magic link has nowhere to go. So this is a one-session pattern: sign up, read what you came for, walk away. Note also that Medium's paywall counts metered free stories per account; a fresh account resets the meter, though truly member-only stories still require a paid membership regardless of what email you use.
Medium's login is magic-link only — no passwords. Once your disposable mailbox expires, that Medium account is permanently unreachable. Treat it as a single-session account: sign in, read, and let it go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sign in to Medium with a temporary email?
Yes. Medium emails a magic sign-in link rather than using passwords, and the link arrives in a tempy.email inbox within seconds. Click it and you're in.
Does a new account get around Medium's paywall?
Partially. Medium meters a few free member-preview stories per account, so a fresh account resets that meter. Fully member-only stories still require a paid Medium membership no matter what email you sign up with.
How do I stop Medium's Daily Digest?
On a real account you can dig into email settings; on a disposable account you don't have to — the digest keeps sending into a mailbox that no longer exists.
Can I get back into a Medium account after the inbox expires?
No. Because Medium has no passwords, sign-in depends entirely on receiving the magic link. An expired mailbox means that account is gone for good — only do this for throwaway reading accounts.
