Use cases

# One test account per scenario, not one for everything.

Most bugs don't show up for the one test account everyone shares. They show up for the 17-year-old, the lapsed member, the viewer, the player who predicted 2–1\. These guides set up an account for each, with its email, password and notes in one place.

## The same four steps for every scenario

1. ### Create the set at once  
Up to 50 addresses in one go, each with a fictional name and a username for the sign-up form.
2. ### Label what each one is  
Tags such as u13, viewer or lapsed become filters; notes hold the date of birth, the picks or the settings you used.
3. ### Save every password  
Encrypted on the address, so you can sign in as "the 17-year-old" again next sprint.
4. ### Check every email  
Each account’s mail lands on its own row, with codes ready to copy and links as one button. The QA report lists it all.

These accounts are for apps you build or are allowed to test, in development, staging or QA. Creating accounts in bulk on services you don’t own, or entering live competitions and offers more than once, breaks our [terms](https://proxymail.qa/terms).
