Today's tip comes to you courtesy of Lifehacker, because I honestly had no idea you could do this until I read this article today.
When I try to log in to websites or apps on my phone, it can be a pain to have to enter my email address every time. Using the "Keyboard Shortcuts" on iOS or "Personal Dictionary" on Android allows you to set up a keyboard shortcut that will enter your email address.
The article recommends using "@@" for your primary email address and adding additional "@" for secondary email addresses, but points out that this did not work on Android. The truth is that you can use any key combination, so long as you don't plan to actually type that particular combination. Don't use "email" as your shortcut because you will never be able to actually type the word "email" on your phone again without deleting this shortcut.
To set it up, go to the Settings app in iOS and tap General, followed by Keyboard, and add a new shortcut. In Android, also go to the Settings app and tap Language and Input, followed by Personal Dictionary.
