A form requirement designed specifically to give privacy advocates a stroke.

@pheonix would e.g. [email protected] work?
@pht I think that's the perfect antidote to a preposterous requirement like this. God bless Gmail for continuing to support that 😭🙏
@pheonix Sheesh, am I going to have to start telling people my first name is Skull so that I can use my old Hotmail address SkullFuck69 ?
@BenartyComputer @pheonix time to file papers to change legal first name to xXxGamer69xXx
@pheonix simple: pipilangstrumpf1984@gmail... ?

@pheonix Comments in the locat part of the email address might also work.

user(firstname)@example.com

@pheonix what the hell, are they using a dictionary of names or something, what if you have a name that's not on their list 😭

or did they ask for your real name above and require the email address to contain it, which is equally stupid  who are they to tell me what my email address should contain 

@pheonix
Err, nope....
Hits the X in the top right corner & wanders off into the night whistling to himself...
@pheonix ..silly me, I've only got an email address that includes my password.. 😁😂
