Gmail doesn’t recognize dots
Today i was testing an application that i have built this weekend for which i need to create some couple of accounts in the application which requires unique email ID for each account and we have to verify it to successfully create an account. (app sends a key in the email to verify )
I have some 3 emails of mine but then i need to create at least 10 accounts to test it properly. insted of creating 10 emails accounts for testing, i found this cool trick .
Gmail doesn’t recognize dots
that means sandeep.eecs@gmail.com is same as sandeepeecs@gmail.com, s.a.n.d.e.e.p.e.e.c.s@gmail.com or sand.eep.ee.cs@gmail.com (cant believe it, just go to gmail.com and try logging in with out dots if ur username has dots. it works
)
As my application does recognize dots. So each time i enter my emails with dots at different places it thinks them as new email id and creates account for it. and i could finish my testing with one email ID only
.
Found it interesting so thought of sharing it with you guys.
BTW it seems even Facebooks did same thing for vanity url . facebook.com/psandeepreddy is same as facebook.com/p.sandeep.reddy



U found it pretty late man..I already researched and knew it long back..hahaha
