Tips:
- You can create multiple aliases for your Gmail account.
- Aliases can be used to send and receive emails, but they will not have their own login credentials.
- If you want to use an alias as a separate email account with its own login credentials, you may need to create a separate Google account.
- Be cautious when creating aliases, as they can be used to send spam or phishing emails. Make sure to keep your aliases secure and only use them for legitimate purposes.
