Fun tip, dots in a Gmail address are ignored, so you can also use firstnamelastname, first.name.lastna.me, or any other combo to receive mail at

When I played with AWS way back before it became the behemoth it is, I used it to simply store a few small things, like my Keepass DB. I then deleted it.
So my fun fact: if you ever had an account with AWS and delete it, you can never use that same exact email again. So I went from lastname.firstname@gmail.com to lastnamefirstname@gmail.com and have had that AWS account for way longer than the original.
Yeah that’s signing in, so your username must match. There are reasons why you should not use sign in with Google, mostly to do with security and privacy. In which case you can sign up for an account using as many or as few dots as you like.
For just receiving mail this works universally.
If someone has the email account password your security is already fucked. If they don’t then there’s no way to pop your oauth unless the client is shit. If the client is shit you shouldn’t give it your credentials.
SSO is not a security vuln.
Yeah but it used to not be ignored so now me and this random person with my name basically share an email address. We don’t get each other’s emails all that often somehow. We first chatted years ago when I got an important email for a job she applied for (soon after they started ignoring the dots), and she seemed decent so I didn’t change it. Definitely a huge risk but here we are.
