How freaking long does it take to fix the rename feature? It's been several months now. Just like others..."temporary" disabled...only yet to re-enabled years later, while it has been said working on it. The feature to change your Rift email address online has been "temporarily" disabled for over a year now!
Well if aliases are going to be able to log in, might as well forget rename feature. The whole purpose was to rename to something uncommon and never use it...just for logging in only, and then give out the aliases. It's a step back in security.
Fastmail has this feature that MS is taking away
From Fastmail:
Why is this useful? A few reasons:
You can use different email addresses for different groups/people, and then ensure that email sent to those different addresses are automatically filed into different folders, so you can keep them separate.
You can create an alias for signing up to newsletters, or web sites, etc, and if it starts getting too much spam, you can delete the alias.
Yes. But you can log in to Yahoo using the aliases! The goal is to have an email address for log in purposes only, and the ONLY address that will let you log in to the account.

My Fastmail primary address is the 7 character user ID from when I had the original Prodigy. I only use it to log in to my account and nothing else. I made an alias of mylastname.myfirstname@fastmail.net. I use that..and it can't be used to try and log in to my Fastmail account.
They should have an option to let the user decide which aliases can be used to access the account.
