jschrag Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I think the title is self-explanatory, but basically I would like to allow users to register multiple accounts using the same email address. I didn't see an option in the settings to turn this off, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriano Faria Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 You can’t. Name and email are unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschrag Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 That seems like an odd unilateral choice to make for all boards...are there any plugins or anything that could adjust that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other website, regardless of software, allows anyone to have multiple accounts with the same email address? 99.9999% of websites will throw an error if you try to register with an email address that it already has in its database and redirect you to sign in or reset your password.

jschrag Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 That’s true, most do. The biggest I can think of that doesn’t is Reddit, at least in terms of email. I’m also coming from existing forum software that doesn’t have this restriction. The reason I’m asking is because I run an RPG and having multiple accounts allows our users to keep different characters separate. I’ve seen other people mention on various threads they run similar types of boards and just wanted to know if they had found a way around this restriction.

Joel R Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Tagging @Morrigan to see if she had any thoughts. Tagging @Adriano Faria to share his Link Accounts mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrigan Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 @Joel R thanks for the Tag in. It's a security issue to have the same email multiple times. There is the linked accounts mod but the Initiative also offers a Character Mod/Manager which allows you to post in the forums as multiple personas etc. It was made more with RPers in mind.

bfarber Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Just to answer the fundamental question - there is no way to legitimately allow multiple accounts to use the same email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
