Among other things, these services can help protect your real inbox from spam, prevent marketers from correlating your accounts, and encrypt all incoming messages with PGP.

#### :material-check:{ .pg-green } Custom Domains and Aliases

You can create unlimited custom domains, aliases, catch-alls, regex-based aliases, and more.

#### :material-information-outline:{ .pg-blue } Private Payment Methods

Forward Email doesn't accept any cryptocurrencies as a result of [issues](https://github.com/forwardemail/forwardemail.net/commit/04c9f6f4c9c6279232e9fe18d7105ec83204f255) with BitPay and Coinbase Commerce. However, they do accept [Stripe and PayPal payments](https://forwardemail.net/faq#which-payment-methods-do-you-accept).

#### :material-check:{ .pg-green } Account Security

Forward Email supports [passkeys](https://forwardemail.net/faq#do-you-support-passkeys-and-webauthn), [WebAuthn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebAuthn), TOTP two-factor authentication, and hardware security keys using FIDO2 or U2F standards.

#### :material-check:{ .pg-green } Data Security

Forward Email uses data center providers that are SOC Type 2 compliant. It also uses encryption at rest and encryption in-transit.

#### :material-check:{ .pg-green } Email Encryption

Forward Email has support for [OpenPGP encryption](https://forwardemail.net/faq##do-you-support-openpgpmime-end-to-end-encryption-e2ee-and-web-key-directory-wkd), discovery of public keys via HTTP from their [Web Key Directory (WKD)](https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKD), and E2EE. It also uses [quantum safe ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption](https://forwardemail.net/blog/docs/best-quantum-safe-encrypted-email-service) on each individual user's mailbox. Users can optionally encrypt messages in IMAP/POP3 storage using an OpenPGP Public Key (this provides double encryption, as the mailboxes are already encrypted).

#### :material-information-outline:{ .pg-blue } Account Termination

Forward Email does not automatically delete accounts. Users can delete their entire account at anytime by going to [My Account &rarr; Security](https://forwardemail.net/my-account/security).

#### :material-information-outline:{ .pg-blue } Additional Functionality

Forward Email has support for [webhooks](https://forwardemail.net/faq#do-you-support-webhooks) and [regular expressions](https://forwardemail.net/faq#do-you-support-regular-expressions-or-regex), and allows you to download your encrypted mailbox and [create a new backup](https://forwardemail.net/blog/docs/best-quantum-safe-encrypted-email-service#backups) at anytime.

## More Providers

These providers store your emails with zero-knowledge encryption, making them great options for keeping your stored emails secure. However, they don't support interoperable encryption standards for E2EE communications between different providers.
