Logging in with deleted gmail account #22514
-
Hello, I would like to log in to my previous github account connected with deleted gmail account. Since i deleted my gmail account a while ago, reactivating account is no longer possible. I tried to recreate a gmail account with the name i used again but gmail didn’t allow this behavior either 😦 If someone had similar issue and solved this problem or if a staff from github could reach me, it would be a great help! Thank you. |

why would you want to still use your old email? why would you delete your email if you know it’s associated with your GitHub account? seems your account has no activities either, why not simply create a new email and a new GitHub Account? |

Hello, first of all, thanks for your attention. What I am trying to do is to move repositories in my old github account to currently logged-in github account. |

you can try reaching the group assigned for accounts, and hopefully they will do something |

I had the same problem when my Gmail account got deleted, and I couldn't log into my old GitHub account. It's really annoying, especially when making a new Gmail with the same name doesn't work. I couldn't get my GitHub account back and had to make a new one. To avoid this mess again, I started buying old Gmail accounts because they are safer and help me keep access to important accounts. This way, I don't worry about losing access again. You might find this helpful too. Check out https://digitalstorenet.com/product/old-gmails/ for more info on old Gmail accounts. It might help you prevent these issues in the future. |
