Can two customer accounts have the same email address?

Hello

 

Could somebody tell me if osc allows two different customer accounts to be created with the same email address?

 

If yes, how can I stop this happening?

 

If no, why is my website doing this?

 

Thanks

will lets say that a customer registers [email protected]

then later that same customer registers [email protected] is 2 different email addresses it record them in the database. so it is impossible to have double email addresses

2 different customers? if so, that's nothing to worry about.

it's very common for complete strangers to have the same email address, but with a single letter difference.

 

if it's the same customer, he probably forgot his logins to your site and was too lazy to do a password recovery so he started a new account.

 

and also: if you have a contribution like purchase without account or fast easy checkout - the same email address can be registered MULTIPLE times.
