> use misguided measures such as a bad email validating regex
Ever heard of Magento? They have that built in, at least in version 1. But it's a fixed list with "valid TLDs", anything not on that is not accepted when registering.
Feels strange, when you can't register on your own shop...
- organsnyder 6y agoI use a .dev domain for my main email address, and I occasionally encounter sites that don't accept it as valid. Even worse, sometimes I could create an account but then something would be broken, such as when I could log in to Best Buy via their mobile app, but not their website (or vice-versa—I can't remember for sure). I'm assuming I get hit both by incomplete whitelists and ill-advised blacklists.
