Hi Gliders, I’m on the business plan and I have an app that has been in the wild for a while. It’s for a small company, so has about 10 users and today I noticed a new user with an email address that I do not know has appeared in the user database. The email address for the user is [grey-voice-144@anonymous.appuser.io](mailto:grey-voice-144@anonymous.appuser.io) It was not created by me I have not deleted it yet because I don’t know what in the heck it is but I am very concerned that it’s just appeared out of nowhere Can anyone give me some advice? ![Screenshot 2025-05-26 at 3.34.18 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/7/3746ce955cbbca41ae8b7c35121ed3dcd669f343.png) ![Screenshot 2025-05-26 at 3.34.41 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/8/1822893a184c589d5bb963e0fc06a8503ef92bf3.jpeg) ---

Do you have anonymous emails enabled for your app? Is your app private or public? ---

In the “User data” section of your app settings, is this selected to “Hide user email addresses”? If so, when users sign up, instead of adding a user with their real email address, it makes a fake one like that one. Could be somebody just randomly found it and signed up? You can just delete it. ![Screenshot 2025-05-26 at 11.42.42 am](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/7/e78171c4f8083cf962b8da81f111316f23e3df68.png) ---

Ahhh @fkuk1214 @Darren_Murphy @Jeff_Hager Thank you, nailed it, I had “Hide User email address” selected, I have a feeling that’s the issue, phew thanks everyone 🙂 ---
