How to make a bot account? • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

I'm working on programming a chess engine. I would like to get it up on lichess as a bot. Documentation says I need to make a new account and upgrade it to a bot account. However, it won't let me use my email address (already in use by my normal account) and every throw away email service I tried looks to be blocked (just says unacceptable email address).

How am I supposed to get a 2nd account for my bot?

Create a gmail address? Or, if you already have a gmail address, add "+bot" to the local part of your address (so, something like "weirdddan455+bot@gmail.com"). Or, also if you have a gmail address, add some dots? ("weirddan.455@gmail.com").

instead of @gmail.com put it as @googlemail.com
