I have account Vladis13 on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org and did login there. And I have shell account vladi2016 on`tools.wmflabs.org`.
But I can't sign in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/login as Vladis13, it shows the error: Cannot assign user name "vladi2016" to account 7045; name already in use.
(Also this digit like 7045 incrementing on each trying.)

Same problem to me Aldnonymous / Aldnonymous4@gmail.com can't log in with return msg "name already in use."

In short: this is a known issue we are encountering with Gerrit due to a migration that has been fully completed. There is a way to fix it on the server but I lost track of how to achieve that, but I made some others aware of it.
When we upgrade Gerrit to version 2.16, we will be able to fix all affected accounts once for good :)

As there are other users who cannot sign in to gerrit, I think we should not close this task just because one account was manually updated. Mine is still not working.

Thanks, but T216605 is access restricted and I cannot see any of its content. I feel pretty lost with this problem.
