Description timothymh 2009-03-11 14:40:31 UTC
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.

10 March 2009

Have not tested with other applications or computers.

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

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?
Comment 4 timothymh 2009-03-11 15:31:49 UTC
No I haven't. One sec...
Comment 5 timothymh 2009-03-11 15:33:11 UTC
Doesn't work. I know I have unified my accounts, about three times, actually. ;)
Comment 6 timothymh 2009-03-28 10:47:12 UTC
Okay, interesting addition: I now can't even log on to Wikipedia.
Comment 7 Nemo 2014-02-28 09:11:38 UTC
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.
