Email Address Policy

Approved email addresses

To use Indeed, you must register and keep your account with a stable, permanent email address. This helps protect your account and lets you recover access if there is a problem.

A stable email address:

• Is meant for long-term use
• Is protected by a password
• Allows account recovery
• Comes from a trusted provider (like Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo) or your workplace

Unapproved email addresses

Temporary or disposable emails—also called “burner” emails—are not permitted. These emails:

• Expire after minutes or days
• Often come from sites like mailinator.com or tempmail.org
• Do not offer strong security or recovery options

New accounts

• If you try to create a new account with a temporary or disposable email, account creation may be blocked.
• You must use a stable email address to finish registration.

Existing accounts

If an existing account is found to use a temporary or disposable email, Indeed may:

• Restrict the account, or
• Suspend the account

Restoring account access

You can appeal the decision if we restricted or suspended your account because of this policy.

To be reviewed, you must:

• Update your account with a stable email address that follows this policy.
