That was fast! Thanks!

That afternoon I've created a second account to be able to show people what to do during the sprint but now this account is linked to my Persona. What can I do about that? My account on MDN was seocam but on the new MDN is seocam2. Since from now on I'm using Persona to login I'm not sure how useful this username actually is.

Thank you for reporting this, Sergio! This is unfortunately not possible with Persona, but we will look into fixing this manually for you.

You may also be able to work around this by creating a new email address (something like [e-mail]) and linking that to your seocam account.

Les, Luke: Would that workaround... work?

Well I currently use [e-mail] with persona for Bugzilla and for reps.mozilla.org. Unfortunately, due to a mistake, I used [e-mail] (also with persona) for registering into mozillians.org.

So actually I already have 2 different email accounts for Mozilla services, I wouldn't like to have a third.

If you could just erase that account (seocam2) than I would be able to link my persona login ([e-mail]) with the right account (seocam). 

But again, only if this is not too much trouble for you guys, otherwise you can close this bug and focus on real important stuff! ;)

Cheers!

seocam is .net
seocam2 is .com

Try this:

1. Sign in to seocam2 using .com 
2. Edit your profile - change the email address to something else - e.g., gmail.com.

Now your .com address is free. So: 

1. Sign in to seocam using .net
2. Edit your profile - change the email address to .com.

See if that works for you.

The first steps worked fine, so seocam.com is free.

Instead of trying to sign in with .net I tried to sign in with .com and merge my account but I got the message: "Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields are case-sensitive." This is not the behavior I would expect.

When I try to sign in with .net (that wasn't even registered into persona.org) I got logged in with my old user but I also got redirected to the merge view (see attached image).

After I changed my email to .com it works fine!

PS: The URL in the change of email were wrong. They were pointing to http://developer.mozilla.org instead of developer-new.

Thanks for letting us know, Sergio. To confirm, can you now get into the seocam account by using your [e-mail] email address?

[Sergio Oliveira Campos]

Yes I can! ;)
