General Tips & Tricks

• Make sure accounts you create are not tied to any specific employee, that way you are planning for potential staffing changes. This could be creating a Gmail or Outlook accounts to use as your core accounts or working with your IT to generate a number of accounts that can be accessed by anyone on your team.
• For Gmail users, try the "+" trick to sign up for multiple accounts using the same email address so you can easily manage multiple accounts with one login.
  • [email protected] is the same email address as [email protected] which is also the same email as [email protected].
• Outlook email addresses can also be used for individual console accounts and are automatically associated with Microsoft/Xbox services. The Outlook account acts the same way any other email address would and can be used to create other gaming platform accounts (Epic, PlayStation, Nintendo, etc.).
