I can't login to my account because my email service provider doesn't work anymore

Hello,

My name is Acho Arnold and I’m the owner of this profile Mozilla People Directory

The email which I used before is arnold@archlinux.info but a few months ago, the archlinux.info domain stopped working and I can’t access any of my mails.

When I try to login to my account, It sends an email to arnold@archlinux.info and it tells me to verify that email but I can’t receive the email since I don’t have access to that email service anymore.

Please what can I do to redeem my account?

Can't access to my account, email provider has closed

Hi @arnoldewin,

is there any system which shows that you own the @archlinux.info email and the new email you want us to use?
Maybe a PGP keychain or anything else?

Best regards,
Henrik

I don’t know what a PGP keychain is so i’m sure I don’t have one. I was thinking we’ll use one of my external accounts to validate me.

E.g IRC, linkedin, skype etc

Hi @arnoldewin,

Sorry for the late reply.

Did you ever have arnold@archlinux.info set as an email in your Github profile? If yes, you can

  • set arnold@archlinux.info to be your primary email,
  • then you login to your Mozillians.org profile using Github authentication
  • next you add a new identity (Menu > Settings > (scroll down to identity) > Add Identity) to your profile
  • in the last step, I will change your login email address to that new identity

Best regards,
Henrik

Hey @hmitsch,

Unfortunately. arnold@archlinux.info isn’t on my Github profile. I deleted it a while back. Sorry for the really late reply. I don’t get emails when someone replies to this thread.

For the record: I tweeted @arnoldewin on @acho_arnold to see if they are still interested in figuring out a way to solve the login issue.

We found a great way to proof @arnoldewin’s ownership of the arnold@archlinux.info: He owns a bitbucket account where his old identity can still be used.

Arnold created commits to proof that he owns arnold@archlinux.info:

I will reach out to Mozillians.org admins to get Mozilla People Directory changed as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Henrik
