Launchpad itself

merge auto-created account with old email address

Asked by Sven M. Hallberg

Hi, I just created this account (paskow) because my usual nickname (pesco) was already taken.

Today I looked at https://launchpad.net/~pesco and it says that the account "was created on 2010-09-14 when importing comments for freedesktop.org Bugzilla #4945". I tried merging the accounts, but the email address on file was my very old one (<email address hidden>) - no longer valid.

Can you effect the merge manually?

Thanks,
pesco

Hi pesco,

I have confirmed that the user had no relevant data and was auto generated in 2010.
I updated its username to `pesco-auto-created` so your username is now free.

You should now be able to update your username with your usual nickname.
