Option to hide account email in UI
When logged into Proton usually the my account email is shown in various places (for example, in Mail, it is in the upper-right hand corner of the app under the email label)
I would like an option to mask the account email. For example: johnwick@proton.me would be johxxxck@proton.me or johxxxxx@proton.me
This would ensure that spying eyes can't know my full email address for my account.
Alternatively, hiding the account email in the UI is also sufficient since all email identities come with a display name, and that display name could replace or be shown in replace of the email ID in the UI.

I signed up for UserVoice specifically to request this very feature. It would be great to have the ability to toggle, mask, relocate, etc. Please and thanks. Y'all are great.

the whole point of having alias and multiple email address is defeated if somebody finds out your actual email address. So, masking is critical but also for convenience proton should unhide/ unmask email on clicking profile button in the menu where you have setting and sign out option.
I also like to go one step ahead and ask proton to give option to disable receiving emails from default email address or maybe allow only proton to email (for important stuff)

I dont want people accidently saw my Full email address.
Like in Proton mail, you can see clearly your email address on the right top corner.
its should just icon, we need ability to hide it or even hide it as a default.
and also in proton Pass.
When i press to proton pass to login, they should not show the full username, maybe just a few letter + 1 last letter.
