The "+ is not valid character in email" is damn annoying indeed. Too many websites do this dumb "validation". Re: validating login/signup, I never had an issue

Re: validating login/signup, I never had an issue immediately. However in practice it happens often when there's one validator but it changes over time during a big rewrite. So you sign up, all works, rewrite lands, can't log in anymore.
- Meph504 6y agoI've had it happen immediately a lot. Ubisoft and jimmyjohns both had issues with it. I love when people argue that it isn't valid even after you contact support. Generally a sign I don't want to do business with them.
- chadlavi 6y agoI think some companies might do this because they know they can't sell that email address as easily
- zaik 6y agoOr they could just strip of the part after the "+", especially with gmail addresses.
- trav4225 6y agoYeah, I run into validation issues all the time with hyphens in domain names... :-P
