Hi lissa248,
When you Use Hide My Email in Safari on iPad:
"With Hide My Email, you can generate unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal email account, so you don’t have to share your real email address when filling out forms on the web or signing up for newsletters."
The creation of unique and random email addresses is expected. To review the addresses that you've created and confirm they are forwarding to your iCloud email address, follow the steps from Create and manage Hide My Email addresses in Settings on iPad:
"You can create and manage Hide My Email addresses in Settings . Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Hide My Email, then do any of the following:
- Create a Hide My Email address: Tap Create New Address, then follow the onscreen instructions.
- Deactivate a Hide My Email address: Tap an address (below Create New Address), then tap Deactivate Email Address. After you deactivate the address, it no longer forwards emails to you.
- Change which personal email address to forward to: Tap Forward To, then choose an email address. Options consist of addresses that are available with your Apple ID.
- Copy a forwarding address to use elsewhere: Tap an address (below Create New Address), touch and hold the Hide My Email section, then tap Copy. To immediately use that address elsewhere, touch and hold in a text field, then tap Paste."
Regards.
