Register User With Fake Email Address?

General (non-technical) Testing Forum for Moderators / Admins
#1

Hi guys,

I want to use the leaderboard for highscores in my game, but I don’t want to force users to give their Email address just to submit a highscore.

Personally I think that a lot of users won’t like that at all.

So I tried to create an Email address from the Player name, for instance: PlayerName is Robert, Email address is Robert@gmail.com, password=secret

For some reason that doesn’t work. It registers a user successfully, but when I try to login with the Email address and password I just created, it gives an error:

“Username or password is incorrect”

Does Corona check if the Email address is valid?

Hi,

One thing to be aware of, is that Corona Cloud users are global to the system similar to how Game Center works.

Most probably that particular user that you’ve created already exists.

So I would check the return and see if you receive a message that possibly that username is already taken.

Thanks

That’s not it. Every time I register a user, it succeeds doing so. After that I automatically try to login, but then it gives me an “Username or password is incorrect” error.

I see, I’ve sent you a PM to get more data so I can check on our end.

Thanks

I think I figured it out, our system is case sensitive, check your PM.

Thanks

Yep, that’s it! Works like a charm now.

Thanks for your help!

Does this cryptic thread mean you  were not entering the login or password correctly? 

Using Caps for example?

A curious reader would like to know.

If you use Robert@gmail.com, the login would fail. robert@gmail.com works.

So keep the email address lowercase.

#9

If you are using a false email address, how do you handle the email that gets sent out from Corona Cloud ?

You don’t. No need too.

I am having trouble logging in as well. I am not using case sensitive emails, but it says that the  Username or password is incorrect.

I am just doing myemail+gamecenterusername@gmail.com

I read that you can do that somewhere on the forum, but its not logging in.

You guys have any idea?
