I have a situation that has been reported to me where a user can log in to create an account and onboard themselves using for instance daniel@…However, if that same user comes back later and enters Daniel@…it creates an entirely different user account. Please Help. I am using Glide Tables, but have one actual google sheet for creating PDFs using a script. ---

Hi Daniel, In Glide, “daniel” and “Daniel” are different values, so they’ll log in as different users. You should ask your users to always log in with the same email, or sign in with google. ---

Right, but is there no way to force lowercase emails as they are not case-sensitive? Because unfortunately people don’t always check to see if caps lock is enabled or not. On iPhones the first letter is caps by default most of the time. ---

So this is impossible then? @Jeff_Hager ---

Probably yes for now. I don’t know of any way we could force that as a user. I added a mention to this thread so we can mention it whenever Glide has their next live coding session.

I imagine something on this page… Perhaps a checkbox for “Force lowercase” 🙂 ![Screen Shot 2021-07-30 at 6.20.11 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/9/e9f4b335a9670203f81ddb420d100af783bb0256.png) ---

Hello, You have some solutions in “experimental code” > [@Find Duplicate](https://community.glideapps.com/t/find-duplicate/29780): > > Here is a simple code to find duplicates. it is possible to use a search with the case sensitivity option.

hmm, but would any of those actually help in this case? To prevent a duplicate User Profile Row from being created, you need to catch it _before_ the row is added. And because User Profile rows are added by Glide as a result of the sign-in process, you can’t do that. ie. converting an email to all lower-case after the row has been added is too late - the horse has already bolted by then 😉 ---

It is not false Uhmmm, maybe after that you can display an alert message and restart the registration or reassign the new user to the original duplicates. The jocker always has a solution for his horse. 🤣
