I already had an account on Gitlab (say A/c-M) based on my email id.
-
This account was not connected with twitter.
-
And one day, i logged in to Gitlab using twitter id - also based on that email, but whose username is different (owing to character limit of Twitter).
-
I guessed that it would log me into A/c-M, but it didn’t. Rather, the process created a new account (say A/c-T). I guess the reason is that email was not fetched from twitter.
-
So, now I have 2 accounts which is completely unintended. I want to be able to log in A/c-M using twitter (i.e. connect twitter with A/c-M or merge A/c-T with A/c-M).
-
But now, on trying to link the A/c-M with twitter, it says
Authentication failed: Extern uid has already been taken
and on attempting to link A/c-T with email, it saysEmail has already been taken
.
What can be done??
