Launchpad itself

Recovery of a Launchpad account without email access

Asked by Vincent Le Ligeour

Hello,

I am the owner of the following account : https://launchpad.net/~leligeour that is linked as admin to the following team : https://launchpad.net/~performous-team

However, I strongly think that the email address that is used is from my former academic position (something @ensiie.fr).

I would like to recover this account (this is for Launchpad admins), I can see 2 ways of trust that can help:
- the Jabber ID email entered 10 years ago on this account is still accessible for me (so switching the email of the account to the email provider as JabberID could enable me to recover my password).
- The project I am administrating (performous) on github could be a path of trust, using the email used in my GitHub account and merges (https://github.com/yoda-jm) could also help me reset my password there.

Hope that one of those chain of trust could be enough to change my email address of my launchpad account

Vincent

There is a GPG key added to the https://launchpad.net/~leligeour account and we can verify the ownership of the account if you still have access to the private key corresponding to that public key. Can we proceed with this mode of verification?

Seems that the private key was lost during a harddrive crash :/

Hello,

This is perfect: I can log in, manage the Performous PPA and properly register my working email address.
Thanks you very much for your time.

Just to be sure: there is no way to change the login address ? (because I used some kind of dummy address). I have seen that I can change the notification address but it seems to not be directly linked to the login email address.
This is not a problem since I can manage everything that I requires from now on.

Perfect (not exactly this address, at least if you are not connected, but I manage to add another address)
Thanks again for the help
