Bonus
Gmail trick:
Do you know that you would have jess@gmail.com, you can just use jess+1@gmail.com or jess+100@gmail.com, and the emails would still end up in the jess@gmail.com account?
This is perfect for creating multiple accounts using the same Gmail account
Email Verification as an Authentication Method
Do you ever why each time you sign up for some account, it asks what your email is, and it will send you an email?
This is to verify that you own that email
