Other email services might not ignore periods, and might really have separate myname@example.com and my.name@example.com users. If someone is going to make a site that tries to ignore periods for equality, then they should hardcode it to email domains that they know do that.
- roryisok 8y agoYes, that's what I meant by it not being a standard. They should be making a special rule for gmail
- d_k_f 8y agoHonestly though: why bother? If you're really set on opening a second account, email validations won't stop you. If I as a service provider want to stop you, I'd check your address, credit card number, vat Id, etc. If you're unsure whether you've already registered an account, I could understand the frustration of finding your "proper" dot configuration, but as a developer I'd figure that to be your problem.
