common email

I want to create multiple user accounts with common email.
Right now if I try to create an account with a email that is already existing in some users account, I get a message that account cannot be created as this email/login already being used
I want only login and pw to be unique for each account.

What should I do?
Thank you

Hallo,

the problem is that you need the e-mail address for other functions like password discovery, activation etc. This is the reason why the e-mail address must be unique.


I think there is no chance to downsample the whole thing....

Thanks for reply.
I am making a listing of doctors and each doctor has one mail but wants separate listings as they have more than one clinic.Hence the need for multiple listings with same email.
We can always do without activation thru email and simplify discovery pw.No need for such a complex system

what should I do?

maybe it's better to use a more simple system...

yes.But cant we simplify your class.?
It is a very good class

a lot of methods have to be changed, I think it's quicker to write a new (simple login system) :-)

Just an idea:
Can't this person use a dummy email address in these cases and normal email for others? For example, use SMS for forgotten password renewal. And for this the system will need the doctor's cell phone number. Maybe use this number in the dummy email: 00123456789@email.com could be a unique email and also an informative field telling the number to send the SMS to, manually. Or maybe even a new feature of using SMS in the software???

when you register for first time, the system sends u a mail at the email given by you ,and you have to click a link on that mail and activate your account.If u give a dummy email address, where do you recieve the mail for activation of account?I am not clear what u mean?

Anyway thanks for trying to help

if the user uses a fake / wrong e-mail address he can't avtivate the account.

This class have the same functions like the authentication inside the big message boards.

As you see from the contents of my message, I haven't used this system (yet), but planning to. OK, the system would have to be organized so that all the dummy emails would be automatically forwarded to administrator, who would send the SMS to user and activate the account. Not for lazy people :) Maybe someone wanting this service would pay for it.
