Students may find it helpful to have an Alternative ID for various reasons, such as:
● Access research papers or enroll in online courses without having to provide their
primary email address. Alternative ID can keep their educational communications and
one-time-used website offers separate from their personal email.
● Use free Wi-Fi in public places like cafes or airports. With Alternative ID, students can register for Wi-Fi no matter where they are. Don't forget to turn the VPN on as well!
● Avoid spam and unwanted communications by using Alternative ID to limit the
exposure of their primary email address across various online activities, such as
subscribing to newsletters, blogs, or content updates.
● Take advantage of one-time discounts on e-commerce platforms without cluttering
their primary inbox with promotional messages.
● Create a separate identity for online forums, discussion groups, and other
community platforms to prevent their primary email address from being exposed to
potential spammers or data brokers.
● Attend events, conferences, or workshops without sharing their personal contact
details. With Alternative ID, students can enjoy all the benefits without worrying about
unwanted marketing messages or spam.
