If you only have one email address for more than one person in your family or care team there is a way to create multiple profiles with one email address.

Note: Make sure you write down or store the new email address somewhere safe so you remember what email addresses were used.

You can add a plus (+) after your username followed by any number or word. For example:

Most major email providers support plus addressing, such as:

The '+' workaround is a handy feature supported by many email providers, allowing users to create multiple variations of a single email address by adding a plus sign (+) followed by any text before the @ symbol. This approach is particularly useful when you need to register for different accounts or manage incoming emails more effectively without creating multiple email addresses.

For example, if your email address is [email protected], you can use variations like [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected]. All emails sent to these addresses will still be delivered to [email protected].

The '+' workaround allows you to categorize incoming emails easily. For instance, if you sign up for different services using distinct variations of your email address (e.g., [email protected] for banking services and [email protected] for social media), you can quickly identify the source of the emails and filter them accordingly. In our case, some customers only have one email address but we require a unique email address for each account. This is where this trick comes in handy.

Instead of managing multiple email accounts, the '+' workaround lets you use one inbox for various purposes. This simplifies email management, allowing you to maintain one primary email address while still distinguishing between different types of communications.

By using different variations of your email address for different registrations, you can monitor how your email address is being used. If you start receiving spam emails to a specific variation (e.g., [email protected]), you can easily identify the source and take appropriate actions, such as unsubscribing or blocking the sender.

Here’s how you can use the '+' workaround with your existing email account:

Let’s explore some scenarios where the '+' workaround can be especially useful:

Suppose you use your email address for various online accounts such as shopping, banking, and social media. By using [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected], you can easily filter and manage emails from these different sources within a single inbox.
