There appears to be no way to change the email address for an AMO account.

In relation with bug #381436, I thought changing the email would be a work around, but it doesn't seem possible anymore.

We should allow this but it should require email confirmation from a valid email address before it sticks.  There are other issues to take care of first -- will get to this later.

Attachment: Change account email address (minus l10n)

Not the smallest patch of all, but it should work fine. It allows you to change your email address on the profile edit page and sends you an email to confirm the change. The email contains a token and a one-way hash to confirm its validity. This way we don't need to store anything locally. Email address change codes expire after 48 hours.

I'll attach another patch containing all the l10n used in this patch. Fallback is in place everywhere, though.

l10n for the "change account email" patch, en-US only.

I'll let wenzel check this in when he gets back.

Yes, I am on it.

I committed the code change to r13071, English l10n to r13072, and merged to l10n changes to the other locales in r13073 (and fixing problems with it in r13075 and r13080).

Finally, the German l10n is in r13078.

This is now fixed, push-needed.

Verified FIXED:

[1] changed from my @yahoo.com address to an @aim.com address ("Profile updated.

An email has been sent to [e-mail] to confirm your new email address. For the change to take effect, you need to click on the link provided in this email. Until then, you can keep logging in with your current email address."), and verified the change by clicking on the link in the email sent to @aim.com

[2] after the confirmation of the change ("Success!
Your email address was changed successfully. From now on, please use [e-mail] to log in."), I:

[3] tried logging in with my @yahoo.com address, and was told that it's the "Wrong username or password!"

(Sorry for the verbosity; this is a pretty big change, so wanted you to follow my verification steps.)

Well that shouldn't be. Really. One should be able to change their dang email. I need to change it to my gmail acct. because Yahoo is giving everyone an Error 14 and not letting them access their email accounts. Geez.
