What Is a Gmail Variation?
A Gmail variation is an alternative form of your email address that still delivers to your inbox. Gmail supports two types of variations out of the box:
- Dot variations — inserting periods anywhere in the username
- Plus tag variations — appending
+tagafter the username
How the Randomizer Works
Our generator can create random dot-trick variations by selecting random positions to insert dots, or random alphanumeric hash tags for the plus address mode. Use the "Random Security Hash" mode in the Plus Tag Style dropdown for truly unique random tags like [email protected].
Random Plus Tag Examples
[email protected] ← random hash
[email protected] ← random hash
[email protected] ← random dot variation
[email protected] ← random dot variationWhen to Use Random Variations
- When you want an alias that does not reveal which service you signed up with
- When creating honeytokens to detect data leaks without a recognizable pattern
- When a website checks for common plus patterns and strips them
When to Use Sequential Variations
Sequential plus tags like +1, +2, +3 work better when you want to use multiple accounts on the same site and track them by number. Use the "Sequential Numbers" mode in the generator.
