Multiple User Names with One Gmail Address

I just recently learned, while testing the app I am working on, that is the app is using your email address for a user name, you can create multiple usernames for testing using just one gmail address.

Apparently, is doesn't matter where, (or how many), (.)'s there are in a gmail address before the @.

So if your gmail address is lastname.firstname@gmail.com, you can use the following iterations and they will all come back to your gmail account:

  • last.name.firstname@gmail.com
  • last.name.first.name@gmail.com
  • la.stna.me.fir.stna.me@gmail.com
  • l.a.stname.fi.rst.na.me@gmail.com
  • la.stn.ame.fi.rs.tn.am.e@gmail.com
  • and so on...

It is a pretty handy feature.
