Issue

  • We allow our customers to use the same email address for multiple accounts. Is there a workaround available so that our customers can still have multiple accounts associated with the same email address? 

Environment

  • DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • Liferay does not support the use of the same email address to support multiple accounts. Main email addresses must be unique per instance (companyId). 
  • Contact does, however, support the use of multiple email addresses, but not for logging in or notifications.
