GitHub Username change creates new account on CA

[BokChoyWarrior]

Hi,

Previously I had solved many tasks on my account logged in using GitHub login. Username: BukChoiWarrior

I changed my username to: BokChoyWarrior

Now CodeAbbey says I have solved 0 tasks 👎

If this is intended let me know. I can delete the issue.

Thanks

That matters.

Thanks for reporting this. You'd better report issue at forum - otherwise I just now found your ticket...

This is not intended, hm. This is how it is implemented. Seemingly it is not critical as you may change name back, but
of course inconvenient. I'll try to have a look and see whether it could be easily amended.

I am having a similar problem but it will not let me log in at all. it just says error 2. I changed my github name and now i cant work with codeabbey.

I'm having a similar problem, change of username and I'm now redirected back from the Github authorization process without being logged in. Unfortunately, now I can't participate in any forum bug reports without creating a duplicate account...

Well, great :) I can poke in db to change your name there - but you can really change your github name back, login to CA, setup password authentication and then change github name again.

Sorry I didn't put much attention to this issue, as it requires some rework of authentication and affects only very few users (since changing github name is really bad idea and normally people don't do this).
