I had the same experience over the weekend. Wanted to use google apps for one my domains. They wanted me to email .html file which google gives you to a hotmail (really?) address and then give them the password as well to my 1and1 account. #fail
- timrogers 14y agoCompletely ridiculous. How do they get away with this kind of stuff? I genuinely think the only way to put a stop to it is for an article like to get popular so they're forced to think.
- unam 14y agoI asked the rep if I could give any other form of identification, guess what - your email address on the 1and1 account would do. I tried sending them the html file from the same email as the one on my 1and1 account and they did what I requested. This boils down to - they really don't need your password.
- brechin 14y agoIf you host the domain there, shouldn't you already have access to put the file in the right place on your own (i.e. without help from CS/TS)?
- timrogers 14y agoI guess it depends. If you have some kind of odd hosting package (for instance, if you [perhaps misguidedly] used a 1and1 e-Shop), you might not have file system access.
- carstendv 14y agoWhen you can manage DNS with them you can verify your Google Apps domain with TXT records. Oh wait, they don't allow you to configure TXT records either.
