yahoo allows different primary email addresses

[graingert]

I have a yahoo account with primary address tagrain@gmail.com and yahoo email tagrain@yahoo.com. I am able to log into that same account with both IDs

It seems I am unable to use Persona with this account.

If you go to yahoo.com or mail.yahoo.com and hover over "Hi, yourname" and then click Account Settings...

• What does is say you are logged in as
• What does it say is your Yahoo Email?

[graingert]

I can sign in as tagrain@gmail.com, tagrain@yahoo.com and tagrain@yahoo.co.uk to get to the same account

Signed in as tagrain
Doesn't say it in that drop-down, but I receive email sent to tagrain@yahoo.co.uk

/me expects that you're entering tagrain@yahoo.com, but Yahoo's OpenID response is telling us you're tagrain@yahoo.co.uk instead.

@graingert Could you try this again on yahoo.personatest.org?

[callahad]

(It should still fail there, but it'll log more info so we can figure out what's up)

https://yahoo.personatest.org/ just redirects me to
https://login.persona.org/

Ah, can you try typing tagrain@yahoo.co.uk instead at myfavoritebeer? This will validate what callahad is saying.

That doesn't use bigtent, it uses email validation instead

@graingert I'm an idiot. Could you please try to log in at http://yahoo.123done.org/ (which will use a fallback IdP at yahoo.personatest.org)

[callahad]

Gah. I'm pretty sleep deprived from my flights today and not thinking straight.

So, yahoo.personatest.org is running a patched version of the BigTent bridge, but I'm not sure what RP + Fallback combo we have online right now that points to it. Help?

Ya, sorry about that. I claim low blood sugar levels.

We're deploying a debugging build to one machine in the production cluster.

Can you log in a few times?

We're looking at a small sample of data, but the current plan is:

1. Automatically fix this where the local name of the email address is identical and we have a valid domain match. Details TBD, but

foobar@yahoo.com maps to foobar@yahoo.co.uk

2. Fix case sensitivity Issue Yahoo BigTent is case sensitive #180

3. Improve user error message to include the OpenID returned email address Issue id_mismatch should show OpenID returned email address #186

It's quite possible that this will address the root cause of your issue.

I believe the temporary PIN email fix should resolve this issue. We officially don't support email aliases with yahoo.com. I'm closing, please reopen if you disagree.
