Gmail, Tutanota, and ProtonMail all allow you to sign up without a phone number. They may ask for a phone number to make it easier to recover your account, but it's optional. You don't need to provide recovery information if you can't or don't want to.

Visit the Microsoft Outlook website to set up a new email address. You can also go to the Microsoft account website and click "Create an account," then click "Get a new email address." This will take you through the process of creating an Outlook or Hotmail email address.

Question

Can you suggest which email company is the safest and most secure?

Community Answer

Outlook is designed to be a e-mail address only rather than an integrated service, so that would be good.

Your real name doesn't matter, but your phone number is a must because it's required to get a verification code sent to you.
