Re: [Haskell-cafe] OAuth on gitlab.haskell.org

Thank you for the information. I do not know what changed since when I tried it on Friday, but the password reset worked today, so I can access my account again. Thank you! On Sat, Aug 26, 2023 at 6:39 AM Bryan Richter wrote:

Sorry, when I said "this mailing list" I thought I was talking to ghc-devs@haskell.org! Perhaps *this* list *would* have been better.

Hi Julian, sorry for the trouble.

You *should* be able to use password reset on GitLab in order to create a password and log in with it. Others have done this.

I turned off GitHub oauth because there was a deluge of spam accounts that were bypassing account approval by using it. I do want to turn it back on eventually, but we need to do some other work first to have better spam protection.

This mailing list is where I announced the change when it happened. I do wish I had a better way to reach active users who might run into this...

Let me know if you continue to have trouble getting in.

Hello,

I last used gitlab.haskell.org in 2022 via OAuth on my GitHub account. However, this seems to no longer be an option. The account itself (https://gitlab.haskell.org/julianbrunner) seems to still exist, but I am unable to log in or request a password reset. I could not find any way to contact anyone on gitlab.haskell.org or any information on the removal of the OAuth option. Does anyone know how I can get my account back or who I should contact to get this sorted out?
