We use mailchecker to blacklist disposable email providers because we had issues with spammers in the past. Looks like This is why you're getting the error email is already taken. This error message is intentionally misleading.
The screenshot of GitHub says "Cannot be verified" and it means:
So even though GitHub allows you to register with it, they think it's a disposable email as well and you're restricted because of the unverified email address. We won't allow registering with disposable email addresses and you also need to verify your email in order to use Codewars fully. |
But for me it's not disposable. It has bad reputation because it allow you to register email without phone check. Yes ones I had problem with github tempblock. But the day after I wrote them a letter they unlocked me. So now I have no restrictions. Also gitlab has marked my email as verified. https://i.imgur.com/0ETrXoz.png |
Can you add a distinct error message that profile can't be registered with email instead of "is already taken". |
You might want to open a Pull Request to https://github.com/FGRibreau/mailchecker because a lot of services uses it like us. For the error message, I made it intentionally confusing, but I'll consider changing to "invalid". |
They already had a bunch of pr-add-remove discussions. I'm not sure if it's right to allow everyone to register with easy-to-register email providers. Maybe some kind of sandbox. As for me I want to solve puzzles, but sometimes signup buttons are very-very annoying. So I decided to register, but I can't register with only github. As you see I have failed with email. |
Describe the bug
I've tried to signup with my email and github account. But I can't use my email.
To Reproduce
Expected behavior
Allow to register with cock.li email address.
Additional context
I'm not sure if you use blacklist or whitelist for email providers.
But I do want to use this email address, because it's already linked to github, gitlab and other services. https://i.imgur.com/NF8HDgo.png
I know that cock.li is not a mainstream provider like google.
