There's one exception to that. If you originally created the email address with a dot in it, as in, signed up for gmail as "[email protected]," it's treated as a literal character in the username portion and is required.
It’s still not required in this case…
Then that has changed at some point. Used to be that if you registered it with a dot in the name, you had to always use that dot.
maybe in the past, but i did that a few years ago and switch between the dot and not
Yeah, it had to have changed at some point then. It used to be required that you use the dot if you registered it with the dot.
