Private Email is a useful tool that automatically generates secret email addresses to keep your real email address private. Locker Private Email also allows you to send and reply to emails through your aliases instead of only receiving forwarded emails.
Below is a brief guide on how to set up and use Private Email in Locker.
## On Web Vault and Desktop App
Log in to Locker in your browser.
On the left sidebar, click the **Private Email** tab.
The email address used to register your Locker account will automatically be identified as your root email.
Below your root email, you can see the number of aliases you have created. On the Free plan, you can create up to 5 aliases and 1 editable alias.
Click **Add** to create a new alias. The system will automatically generate a new email address linked to your root email.
Click **Edit** to change your alias username if you wish. To delete an alias, click **Delete**.
Start using your alias to sign up for new apps or promotions. Any email sent to your alias will be forwarded to your root email.
Upgrade to [the Premium plan](/en/locker-password-manager/locker-maily/private-email-for-premium) to create unlimited private email addresses.
## Reply to Forwarded Emails
When you use your root email to reply to emails sent to any of your aliases, the recipient will see the reply as coming from that alias. Therefore, your root email address remains private.
Open the inbox of your root email address.
You will see forwarded emails from your aliases in your inbox. Click on the forwarded email and click **Reply**. Write your response and click **Send**.
## On Mobile Devices
Log in to Locker on your mobile device.
Tap **Tools**.
Tap **Private Email**.
You can see all the aliases you have created on the screen and the number of remaining aliases. For example, 3/5 means you have created 3 aliases and only have 2 remaining.
Tap **Add** to create a new alias. The system will automatically generate a new email address linked to your root email.
To edit your first created alias, tap the three-dot icon next to it. Tap **Edit Email Address** and change it to any name you want. To delete an alias, tap **Delete**.
Start using your alias to sign up for new apps or promotions. Any email sent to your alias will be forwarded to your root email.
