Apple Private Email Relay address - can I use it to request password reset?

Solution 1:

  1. Yes, in general you can request a password reset using the Apple private relay address. There is a small caveat in that the sender of the the password reset mail must authenticate their emails by registering their outbound email domains and using the Sender Policy Framework (SPF). This is a requirement for app developers / companies that wish to use the private email relay service that comes with "Sign in with Apple".

  2. The emails sent to the private relay email address are forwarded on to your real email address and are received just like any other mail.

  3. Yes, mails sent to the private relay email address is "rerouted" to the address associated with the AppleID (one of the verified email addresses).
