Don't use third party auth to sign in

Are you actually the owner of steve.com? Because I've been ordering Dominos pizza with the email [email protected] for years.

Edit: nevermind. I see you own the .net tld. I've definitely used that to order pizza too. Sorry about that.

I registered steve.org.uk in 1999, and steve.fi last year.

(I moved from UK to Finland, so I checked the .fi version on a whim. Luckily it was due to expire a few months after I checked, so I setup a script to register it the moment it became available.)

Couldn't you use @example.com?

example.com is good because it is explicitly reserved for this purpose and has no MX records.

Although very occasionally a service will check for MX records, but that is incredibly uncommon. My go-to email for public WiFi is [email protected] and have only been denied once (<1%)

I prefer webmaster@whatever site i'm on

A fair number of places will deny that, but I like to think it sends a message. I'm not sure how many, if any, domains still have a working webmaster@ address though.

That's a really good idea! I'll try it next time.
