new account recommendation


Recommended Posts

can we get this put in one or all the various guides for creating an account

  1. DO NOT use a throw away email address. 
  2. REMEMBER to track the password for email accounts used for gaming purposes

 

i see this come up more often on discord help channels, and think this should be like among the first steps of registering for Homecoming.

People often forget they're using a throwaway one with apple I'd imagine. I forget what the feature is called.

I mean, back when Trial accounts were a thing, I tested my current rigs (old) specs by loading up like 8 accounts on Win7. Not bad for a stress test with only 16 Gb of RAM at the time and a GTX 970. I've since doubled the RAM (maxed) and nabbed a clean 3060 Ti (the last EVGA GPU I'll ever be able to have), so I imagine I could run a few more if I wanted to. 😛

 

And the whole point of that was to say that I'd Also created like 7 temp email accounts back then (but I obviously kept track of it all). >.<

This could become a major problem soon as Gmail is going to start to delete inactive email accounts that have been inactive for 2 years or more beginning December 1, 2023. If you have not signed in, sent or read an email in 2 years the account will be flagged. If that Google account is deleted it will not be able to be recreated or reused for a new account. This could be an issue for anyone who forgets their password and used a Gmail account they don't actually use to sign up for Homecoming.  Now would be a good time to verify those accounts and document them.
