Wiki: Unable to confirm when signing up through OpenID

Postby kashmiri » 17 Nov 2013 18:29

Hi,

I noticed an error on the wiki and signed up for an account in order to correct it. I used my Google account as OpenID; registration process was quick and smooth.

However, I am still unable to edit! Editing requires a confirmed email address on the account. But my account does not have an email address. I tried to add an email address but I am asked to enter account password. Hey, I signed up through OpenID and have no separate password for the wiki! Similarly, I can't go for "change the password" either.

I can't also sign out and click "recover my password" as it requires an email address set on the account. Which I am unable to add for lack of password.

Catch 22.

Any admin to help?

Many thanks!
k.
