I'm not sure if this possible, so forgive me if not, but it would be great to support Hide my Email, as Safari does, for users with iCloud+.

Thanks

    joe We would need more technical details for implementation, if this is a public API at all.

      Having searched, it doesn’t look like there is a public API, unless Apple has been very poor documenting it / making it findable 🙁

        So it would have to wait for Kagi Email 😉

          Would be sad if it wasn’t possible tbh. Cause I for one hoped that Orion could combine the tight system integration safari offers with actual addon support. If it can’t do that you’ll probably also have difficulties getting people to switch from FF.

            Kai Orion already offers tight system integration, with systems that can be integrated with. This is not one of them, and our best bet is to replicate it with our own infrastructure.

                I just learned providers like SimpleLogin or Firefox Relay allow you to export api keys so you technically could implement native providers for those (Bitwarden does that for example)

                    Tried to, although this extension doesn't seem to support FIDO security keys for Apple ID sign-in, so can't really get any further than that unfortunately. (issue)

                        Vlad I just tried this extension on both Brave browser and Orion

                        on brave it works fine 🎉
                        but unfortunately it doesn't work on Orion

                            yeah ive tried it too, works on brave and chrome but not orion 🙁

                              given what orion is trying to be and this extension is opensource and does work on other browsers maybe we could use the github to make it an in-built feature in orion?

                              Stumbled on this, and someone brought this up to the developer.

                              https://github.com/dedoussis/icloud-hide-my-email-browser-extension/issues/45

                              The developer investigated, and the Firefox extension uses the support webextensions API, and it's called but didn't apply the header modifications.

                              Another link to help, which mide lead way to maybe have this as a native feature.

                              https://lib.rs/crates/hide_my_email

                              The gist - Login into icloud.com and use use the auth token to then make calls to icloud.com to manage and create e-mails. This how the plugin above does it, just opens an icloud.com login page in a new tab and grabs the token.

                              While this library is rust, it could provide the template to building this out native in Orion.

                                This issue is tagged "desktop", should there be a separate issue tagged "mobile", or does one issue suffice?

                                  Did anyone find a solution to this for mobile and/or desktop?
