Hi Joe,
I'll clarify the auto-login: After sign up it logged me in with the
credentials I had just created. Why would it use cookies from a previous,
different account login, to log in to this new account? Wouldn't that be a
security hole?
Dunno.  Haven't created a gmail email acct in yrs.
Security hole? Not sure - probably only thing you'd have access to is acct just created??

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought you also had access to your other features, once you created the gmail acct. And you already had a "main" google acct (don't know what they call it) & that perhaps was why it let you create the email acct w/o a phone #?

If you had another google acct & still had cookies from previous session, they would've recognized you that way.
