Unified login is not unified (at least for me)
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Author: timothymh

Description:
Unified login does not work, but when "create new account" attempted, it says "Login error: Cannot create account: the requested username is already taken in the unified login system."

  1. Go to anything other than Wikipedia (where I created my original account).
  2. Attempt to log in.
  3. It says, "Incorrect password entered. please try again," although it is my real password and unified login is enabled on my account.

--or--

  1. After failing to log in, attempt to create new account (with same username as original).
  2. It says, "Login error: Cannot create account: the requested username is already taken in the unified login system."

The application (Firefox 3.0.7) acted normally.
That is exactly what it should have done.

Maybe your account name was taken by other. What's your username? Have you merged your account? What's the output of [[Special:MergeAccount]]?

timothymh. did that, no change in output.

Account Timothymh is on SUL since 6 March, the only account is at enwiki http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=timothymh
It should "just work". Either using your username and password, or directly being logged in after entering into wikipedia (due to the small icons of the other projects).
Have you tried using 'Timothymh' instead of 'timothymh' as username?

No I haven't. One sec...

Doesn't work. I know I have unified my accounts, about three times, actually. ;)

Okay, interesting addition: I now can't even log on to Wikipedia.

All your local accounts are attached now and I see recent edits at [[Special:Contributions/Timothymh]], closing this one. See bug 61876 for the recent and more general case.
