GitHub emails an 8-digit launch code at sign-up and a device code when you log in from a new machine. If your GitHub verification email is not received on a throwaway domain, that is by design: GitHub filters most temp-mail domains.

A temp Gmail for GitHub from OTPGmail is a real @gmail.com or @icloud.com inbox. The code shows on your order page, usually after about 28 seconds; 78% of orders got one in the last 30 days. No code in 30 minutes means an automatic refund. See the price list or rent an inbox.

Who uses a temp Gmail for GitHub?

• QA engineers testing GitHub OAuth, Apps or webhooks on a clean account.
• Machine users for CI/CD, review bots and Actions experiments.
• Agencies and freelancers handing a repository to a client.
• Learners who want to create a GitHub account without a personal email.

How does GitHub send verification codes?

Two kinds of code. At sign-up, “Your GitHub launch code” carries an 8-digit code confirming the address. Later, a login from a new device or network without 2FA triggers “[GitHub] Please verify your device” with a 6-digit code. Both are single-use and expire quickly, so enter them as soon as they appear on your order.

How to get your GitHub verification code with a rented inbox

1. Open github.com/signup.
2. In OTPGmail pick GitHub, choose Gmail or iCloud as the inbox type and rent.
3. Paste the address into GitHub; complete the password, username and puzzle.
4. Watch your order: the launch code usually takes about 28 seconds, 30 minutes at most.
5. Enter the code. A resent or device code arrives on the same order, free for 24 hours.
6. In Settings → Password and authentication, enable 2FA and save the recovery codes.

Tips for using a rented inbox with GitHub

• Use the email form, not “Continue with Google”: a rented inbox has no password to sign in with.
• Enable app-based 2FA on day one: GitHub emails a code on unfamiliar logins, and the inbox only listens for 24 hours.
• Gmail out of stock? GitHub accepts @icloud.com, about 10% cheaper. For pipelines use service git with the API; our GitHub email guide covers sign-up errors.
• GitHub allows one free personal account per person; extra accounts should be machine users or client-owned. Follow GitHub's terms; OTPGmail is not responsible for misuse.

GitHub inbox pricing

After the first code arrives, extra codes are free for 24 hours. Need many inboxes at once? Use bulk rental. Automating it? See the API docs (the domain parameter selects gmail.com or icloud.com).
