Help with GitHub auth
Back to General discussions forum
Hi, guys. I used to solve problems here some time ago, and logged in using a GitHub account that right now I want to delete. I don't see any option to change my login type nor the GitHub account to login. I'd prefer to change the GitHub account. How can I do this? If it has to be made by hand, my main GitHub account is "danilopedraza" Thanks in advance!
Hi, Friend, glad to hear from you!
Please check settings, perhaps it is possible now to set login/password in addition to github sign-in, can't remember.
If not, I'll be able to change it manually, just need to coordinate with you to send you password.
Hi, Rodion! Is good to visit CodeAbbey again.
I can't see any option to change my password in my account settings.
Please, tell me if there is another place where I should look. If necessary, you can send me the password via email to my CodeAbbey username at unal.edu.co.
Aha, I see now, logged with my own google account and really there is no ability to add login/password authentication (though I believe it works backwards).
Perhaps, it would be good to add the feature right now. Give me a day please and I'll try to add some magic button here.

Ah, oh, just noticed this, sorry for my haste. That should be pretty easy to do myself by hand, but well, perhaps, it would be better to add magic button for this too. If it's ok let me try to do this in the morning, please :) It shouldn't take much time...
Ended up changing login to work with your new github account mentioned above. Please try it (and write back here if it is successful) if no, I'll change it back (to gh id 46007432) in a couple days.
The trouble is, I recollected, the button to allow easy changing the linked github account needs some verification (to prevent cases when college friends tweak each other's settings for fun), and such verification is not implemented yet. Sorry for this confusion. It's a shame to remember my own code so poorly :)))
It worked. I just logged in with that account. Again, thank you very much!

Haha, I was just thinking the same about my code today, when I was reading some snippets that I submitted here.
