Multiple Signups on Websites Using Same Email Address

We sign up on websites every now and then and most of the time, websites require you to provide a valid email address in order to register. It’s easy to just use a fake or non-existent email but when it’s necessary to confirm your email before your account is validated, you may have issues and will have to go over the registration all over again.

What about a case where you wish to have two or more accounts on a single site and still register with a single email account? Normally, you would need to open another email account to register but if you know your way around it, you can easily access a website and maintain multiple accounts from an email account instead of two.

ou’re allowed to create a maximum of five aliases and this means you can manage five email address from a single outlook account.

Using Gmail Aliases

Unknown to many, each GMail user can use aliases when signing up with websites. Assuming your real email is peterjones@gmail.com and you’ve already signed up with that, you can sign up on the same website using peterjones+whatever@gmail.com,peterjones+anything@gmail.com, peterjones+dummyaccount@gmail.com and so on.

With this you can have multiple signups on the same website still using one Gmail account. All you need to do is add + and a string of text to your username.

The confirmation email gets delivered to your Gmail account and with this, you do not need to open a different email addresses when you need multiple signups on a website.

By the way, I tried this with a Google Apps account email and it worked great. The only drawback here is that you can only receive messages with your created aliases, you won’t be able to send mails using that fake email (unlike Outlook aliases which will be explained later).

Using Your Alternate Gmail Address

For every Gmail user, there’s an alternative email with which you can access your Gmail account. Assuming your Gmail account is peterjones@gmail.com, you still have an alternate email address that looks like this: peterjones@gogglemail.com.

With this too, it’s easy to have multiple signups on a website.
