| [12:08] <meena> so i'm trying to change my username on https://login.launchpad.net/ from my old email address and… it's infuriating | |
| [12:09] <meena> i've changed my name, too, and it bounces back and worth between Igor and Mina, which, too, is quite annoying | |
| [12:24] <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) | |
| [12:25] <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? | |
| [12:31] <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! | |
| [12:52] <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 | |
| [12:53] <cjwatson> On https://login.launchpad.net/+emails | |
| [12:54] <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 | |
| [12:55] <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 | |
| [13:05] <meena> cjwatson: i've done that. the problem is that an email address that's no longer referenced anywhere is assumed as username | |
| [13:06] <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 | |
