How Many Dot Variations Does Your Gmail Have?
For a username with N characters, there are N-1 positions where a dot can be inserted. Each position can either have a dot or not, giving you 2^(N-1) total variations. A 9-character username yields 256 variations. A 12-character username yields 2,048.
Variations by Username Length
5 chars (e.g. "james") → 16 variations
8 chars (e.g. "johnlee") → 128 variations
10 chars → 512 variations
15 chars → 16,384 variationsUsing the Generator
