What It Does

This plugin allows multiple user accounts to be created, registered, and updated using the same email address. By default, WordPress restricts a specific email address to only one user account. This plugin removes that limitation.

The plugin includes a settings page accessible via Users -> Multiple Accounts or through the Settings link next to the plugin on the Manage Plugins page. It allows you to restrict multiple accounts to certain email addresses, such as limiting it to admins. You can also set a limit on the number of accounts that can use the same email address, with no limit set by default.

The settings page features a table that lists all user accounts sharing the same email addresses. It is compatible with Multisite and BuddyPress, enhancing its usability across different WordPress setups.
