| meena | so i'm trying to change my username on https://login.launchpad.net/ from my old email address and… it's infuriating | 12:08 |
|---|---|---|
| meena | i've changed my name, too, and it bounces back and worth between Igor and Mina, which, too, is quite annoying | 12:09 |
| cjwatson | We don't actually maintain login.launchpad.net, despite the hostname - https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-identity-provider is the place to file bugs about that | 12:24 |
| cjwatson | (I appreciate that this sounds annoying) | 12:24 |
| cjwatson | You will likely have to change on both login.launchpad.net and on launchpad.net itself, unfortunately, they aren't completely synced for this sort of thing | 12:25 |
| cjwatson | Maybe that's the source of some of the bouncing back and forth you mention? | 12:25 |
| meena | https://launchpad.net/~minagalic ← i've already changed my username here, but i can't change it on login.launchpad.net, where it remains i.galic@brainsware.org, which it says, it cannot be! | 12:31 |
| cjwatson | meena: IIRC what you normally need to do is add the new email address, verify it, set it as preferred, and then remove the old one | 12:52 |
| cjwatson | On https://login.launchpad.net/+emails | 12:53 |
| cjwatson | It's a bit multi-step but I'm fairly sure I've tested that before (though, as I say, not a service the LP team maintains directly) and it worked fine | 12:54 |
| cjwatson | You can select your preferred email address from any of your verified ones on https://login.launchpad.net/, and then you can delete any address that isn't preferred | 12:55 |
| meena | cjwatson: i've done that. the problem is that an email address that's no longer referenced anywhere is assumed as username | 13:05 |
| meena | nope, not anymore | 13:06 |
| meena | it just needed another logout/login | 13:06 |
| meena | okay. phew! | 13:06 |
| meena | now i need to re-link my github username with my launchpad username | 13:06 |
