Some jamb candidates who discovered errors in the email address used when registering try to solve the problem by creating a new Gmail account with the same bad email.
However, as indicated by Inyene Bassey Okon, some candidates receive a Google error message that says “Username already taken by another person.”
Here’s what it means and what you can do.
Why can’t you start the wrong email again
When man managers wrongly use bad email when registering,
A possible solution is to quickly create a Gmail account corresponding to this bad email.
But if Google tells you “Username already taken”, It simply means:
- Another person in the world already has this Gmail address.
- You cannot recreate it again because the Gmail addresses must be unique.
Once an email address is already used by someone, it can never be created by another person again.
What you should do now
If you cannot create the bad email address, here are your next steps:
- Don’t panic.
- Focus on using your Registration for the amount Number Or Phone number When you reprint your examination slip or check your results.
- You do not necessarily need email for reprint or to sit for the exam.
- After the exam, if you still have problems connecting you to your leg gate, visit the closest Assembly office Or CBT Center accredited To get help to update your email correctly.
Many candidates are always able to write their exams successfully even without immediately repairing the bad email.
