If you add “ +1” (or any numbers/letters) to the end of your Gmail handle, Gmail recognizes it as belonging to your email address but it looks like a unique email address to the site for which you are registering an account. An underutilized Gmail trick can be the perfect solution to this problem. And for the truly rebellious, it’s problematic when their students are too young for the site’s terms of service.

It’s also a pain point for teachers with younger students who don’t have email and/or don’t yet know how to use it for a site’s registration. This is especially true in school settings in which students don’t have their own Google email addresses. One problem that educators sometimes face is signing students up for a free account on sites that require a unique email address for each user account.

Or just creating a second account for yourself with the same email
