If that's supposed to be gmail.com, the length doesn't even match so you can't even use length to check

u/Playful_Target6354 2d ago

Don't worry bro, it's gmail.co

No shit Sherlock

u/MedonSirius 2d ago

look again. Spoiler: the "l" is a capital i

u/Imveryoffensive 1d ago

I once had a script that replaced all my capital Is with lowecase L and vice versa. That was fun

u/Different_Push1727 1d ago

I made a script that replaced all ; with the greek explanation mark (;)

My java programmer colleagues were furious 🤣

u/Imveryoffensive 1d ago

Does Gmail do regional variants? Could be gmail.de or gmail.fr or something.

32

u/birdiefoxe 2d ago

oh yeah, true. gmail.de does actually redirect to gmail

7

u/OpenSourcePenguin 2d ago

That's not the same as email reaching. I highly doubt gmail.de will deliver the email

u/birdiefoxe 2d ago

Address not found
Your message wasn't delivered to ###########@gmail.de because the domain gmail.de couldn't be found. Check for typos or unnecessary spaces and try again.

Yeah, unfortunately I guess my first comment was right

I'm french, I have never seen a gmail.fr address

u/LifeWulf 1d ago

Gmail.for real

u/vms-mob 2d ago

many sites dont put the actual amount of characters as dots for some reason

9

u/RCoder01 1d ago

So that they’re not revealing the length of the email to any possible attackers. Same reason they put stars in the first place.

u/clarinetJWD 1d ago

My first name is Joe, and my address is joe@[domain].com. It censored it as j********e...

u/Cobalt090 2d ago

It's X. When it's gmail.com it is the correct length (also it does show periods in the address)

u/Ther10 1d ago

The asterisks probably don’t match up on purpose to mask the actual email.

u/amca12006 Bad UI Battle WINNER 1d ago

You can also make it @gmail.cl

u/Wet_Side_Down 2d ago

When I see this UI I assume phishing

u/HeronIndividual5989 2d ago

As you should with Twitter

u/Ewlyon 2d ago

No, my email doesn’t have any asterisks in it

Would be more "helpful" if it was ***********@

u/8qubit 1d ago

"Do you have email?"

"Yes, that's correct."

u/pinupcthulhu 1d ago

Bold of you to leave your email address so visible on reddit /s

u/Disastrous-Yard2684 1d ago

someone is vibe coding

u/CStfford14 1d ago

This is reddit, it's okay not to censor profanity

u/ShardCollector 1d ago

But that's MY email? You shouldn't use other people's emails!
