My Wikimedia account is a clean start account and using the same email as my old account, Nhatminh01. However, the Wikitech account is in the old name and paired with the old account, and have been disabled. Please re-enable my account (Nhatminh01 in Phabricator)

JrandWP (talkcontribs)

Yes, but after 3 years I have changed a lot since then, so please re-enable my account (also this is my clean start account, editing after 3 months)

In the future SUL accounts will merge with development accounts, will my Phab account be renamed to JrandWP?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hi, a Phab account is neither a development account nor a SUL account but a Phab account.

Yesterday, I tried to open an account under the name of Afshin E. Ahimian, and I entered my email and the password was automatically entered without my comment. And I confirmed it, and now to enter Lakh account It has my password, this user account does not belong to me, and I do not have another user account, my password must be changed, please help

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hi, which website (full URL) does this refer to? If this is about phabricator.wikimedia.org (that is what this Talk page is about), then it is impossible to create an account under the name you mention as Phabricator does not accept spaces in account names, so there is nothing to confirm or such. I also do not know what a "Lakh account" is. If there is an issue related to Phabricator, then please provide a clearer list of steps, step by step, including URLs and exact names.

Hi! I want to log into Phabricator with mobile app tokens. I tried a couple of times, but I am still unable to log in. can you help me with this?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@CChen (WMF) Hi, I assume this is about the Phab account "cchen" which has 2FA (multi-factor authentication) enabled. What does happen exactly when you try to log in? In case you've lost the device which emits the 2FA codes, we'll need some out of bound verification (video call, Slack, etc) before resetting your Phab account.

CChen (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@AKlapper (WMF) Thanks for getting back to me! Yes, the 2FA codes are not working after reinstalling my phone. What's the exact verification I need to do to reset it? Maybe through Slack?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@CChen (WMF) Phabricator does not offer reset codes so best would be setting up a video call for verification - probably easiest to set up via a private Slack message?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Verified out of band and 2FA reset.

a request to create an umbrella for an affiliate

Antanana (talkcontribs)

hello, apologies if this forum is not for checking if a request can somehow be expedited -- we have filed a task on phabricator to create an umbrella for Wikimedia Ukraine. is there a way to know 1) if the request is okay, and the information provided is enough; 2) if there is any ETA for this to happen? we would like to move from trello, and the transition to phabricator is going to take some time, so some ETA would be highly appreciated... again sorry if this is a wrong place to post this

Hi! Phabricator is showing two boxes where I need to enter an App Code. I'm unable to login to phabricator so I couldn't submit a ticket. Please help.

BBearnes (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Yes Done

CAlbon (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hi! The machine learning team is wanting to clean up our board a bit and that required deleting some columns (instead of just hiding them). Is it possible to get elevated permissions to do this?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@CAlbon (WMF) Hi, as far as I know deleting columns is not possible.

Anachronist (talkcontribs)

Apparently (and I have no recollection) I created my account under my then-username "Amatulic" in 2015, and then I was renamed to "Anachronist" in 2016, which renamed me in the other Wikimedia projects except this one. Recently when I logged in as "Anachronist" my account appeared as "Amatulic". I was going to ask that it be changed but it looks like that got done.

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hi, I've renamed your account in Phabricator.

@AKlapper (WMF) When I created my account, I edited my new profile like it is explained in your link. But actually I renamed my account and I want my new name in my Phab profile, not my dead name. Now my User profile on Phabricator doesn't match with my user account on wikis. But if I click on "Edit profile" it is not possible to change my name! I just can add a "also know as". I don't want it for a lot of personal reasons. I want this link to be available instead of this one. There is not that option (or I can't find it). So, I'm asking for someone else to change my name instead of me (I know it is a stupid task, I really prefer to click on a button and change my name by myself, but I can't) What I have to do to change my account also on Phab? There is not that option?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Ah, thanks. Done now.
