Lyric Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I've been a long time user of this site and lurker, and I'm now recently switching everything off Gmail to ProtonMail for privacy reasons moving forward. But when I go to change my account from Gmail to ProtonMail it says "You are not able to use that email on this site". Any particular reasoning for this? Thanks.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted June 10, 2021 Supervisor Share Posted June 10, 2021 some secure/throwaway email domains are blocked due to spam use and use by disgruntled banned members. I wouldn't think ProtonMail would be on that list but @Steven P. or @DaveLegg should be able to check into it. Lyric and Nick H. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted June 10, 2021 Supervisor Share Posted June 10, 2021 I had a look, and @Brandon H is right. ProtonMail was blacklisted as a useable email address due to people abusing it and trolling the website. EDIT: After a chat with staff I've removed ProtonMail from the blacklist. @Lyric (and others) should now be able to use a ProtonMail address.
