you dont need to generate anything, you just type the tag you want associated with you.

So for instance.

[email protected]
[email protected]

Both mail will be send to [email protected], I don't need to create new email accounts or anything this thing is called sub addressing for a reason.

So no need to set up anything with your email provider then ?

You don't need to register or fill out any forms just use it?

O_O oh mee gawd that's cool

I could go :

[email protected] , [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

etc etc etc etc without having to set up new email addreses. And if wanted to log on the forums or the game I would use the particular sub addressing I had for b.net at the time ?

Thing is... you cannot log in with a sub-address. Only if you registered using it.

Awwww can't you ?

Have you tried that ?

Not to be an ass or anything it's just that if you've tried it saves me from having to go test it myself.

Yes that is indeed the idea behind sub addressing/tagging

You can indeed use sub addressing if you just change your battle.net account email address.
