  5. Select "Forwared email alias" then "Simplelogin" service
  6. Enter the API code

I don't have more information, just the fact this issue appeared on the new UI re-design 2024.12 (only available on Chromium browsers at the moment). Also I tested it on Chrome for Developers edition.

Same problem after the update of the extension on my Chrome browser (version 131.0.6778.205). BW/SimpleLogin generates an email address with random string of characters and numbers separated by dashes, instead of using the domain name.

Related issue: #12696

These have the same root cause; website settings were not implemented during the browser extension refresh. I have some tech debt PRs landing, after which restoring website support is my next priority.
