Burner Account

Last updated 13/02/2026

A burner account is a temporary or secondary online profile (mainly on social media or email) created to conceal a user’s real identity. Designed for anonymity, they often use fake names and temporary email addresses to browse, comment, or post without being linked to a primary account or personal life.
