A plus sign? That's nothing, LOL

-- if your mail client lets you, that is.

The best email validation is just sending an email to whatever provided by the user. If user receives an email and validates it, than its validated.

The worst sites are the ones that let you sign up with an unusual address but not log in. The worst I‘ve seen was some ticket system that rejected dfyx+theirdomain@mydomain after I clicked the link in their confirmation email.

Even worse is when they strip the plus sign out after the fact and then you can't log in anymore because you didn't realize that's what has happened.

I had a website not let me enter a proton.me email address, when I changed it to my custom.fyi address, it worked fine. They wanted a three letter TLD.

That was my best customer support interaction ever. Company did not let me register with a "new" TLD email address, as "this is not a valid email address". I wrote them from that email address. They respondend to that email address with "this is not a valid address". I wrote back "how are we writing, then?" and never heard back 😂

Not sure if you also do aliases as well but I’ve seen an increase in websites flagging providers like addy.io as well. Extremely annoying that so many websites think they are so important that they refuse an alias.

Same although for a totally different reason. There are some services that really don't like gtlds and they will say your address is invalid if it doesn't end in .com, .net, or .org...all my serious domains are gtld...so some services have emails on meme domains because the only domains I have with traditional tlds are memes

IMO as a developer this is a sane change. There's no telling when the format of the first-party api key will change. They may switch from reference tokens to JWT tokens tomorrow. The validation should be using the token and seeing if it works.

I don't know what that repo does. But, chances are the dude was just fucking tired of dealing with curseforge. Total garbage scum software.

I'm guessing removing the validation fixed the pasting, which means it did fix the actual problem?

I can't recommend password managers enough, because you will never have this issue again.

and when the rule is also wrong example: password must contain special charcters

the password in question contained : and ^

if those aren't special characters idk what is

Having to alter my one generic password I use for random ass website because there's a stupid extra rule is usually annoying me enough that I don't register lmao.
