And unique email-aliases for bonus points
Remind me how to do this, please. I always forget this part...
For Gmail users, you can add a plus sign to the end of your email username, and then any set of characters you’d like.
So if your address was FakeAddressDoNotUse@gmail.com, and wanted an easy-to-remember login for Hot Dog Hut, you could append it in the following way:
FakeAddressDoNotUse+HotDogHut@gmail.com
I used to use that approach, but found in the last several years more than half the web sites I use reject email addresses with “+” characters.
I even use several sites that used to take those addresses just fine now reject them. That made me wonder if some common JS package for parsing email addresses got changed.
