Account recovery request

[ralyodio]

I think I did this once already but I forgot how to access my account.

I currently get this error when trying to recreate the account:

 Username: chovy
 Public Key: /home/me/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
 Host: de1.hashbang.sh

 Does this look correct? [Y/n] Y

 Creating your account...  Account creation failed: {
    "message": "duplicate key value violates unique constraint \"passwd_name_key\""
}

 If you think this is a bug, please report it to 
 -> https://github.com/hashbang/hashbang.sh/issues/

 The installer will not continue from here...

I had the same issue and found that my desired username was already taken.

[KellerFuchs]

@ralyodio Yes, usernames must be unique, so you cannot 'recreate' your account that way.

We may however be able to get you access to your account, provided you can prove this was indeed yours.

[ralyodio]

how do i prove that?

[KellerFuchs]

@ralyodio Did your home directory (on our server) contain information tying it to your Github account?

What was the username? We do not seem to have a ralyodio

[ralyodio]

username was probably chovy. i hibernated my github account and someone took chovy so i renamed it to ralyodio

OK. Is there anything in your #! account that would help tie it to you?

[ralyodio]

the public key probably has "ettinger" in it.

[daurnimator]

the public key probably has "ettinger" in it.

a public key is... public; and that's aside from the fact that I don't think we capture comments. We need something about your account that's not public. (e.g. something in your home directory?)

[ralyodio]

i had some code in the root folder I think, ircbot or something like that.

@ralyodio Can't see any :/

that's weird, I usually call my dotfiles folder dottemplates. In the .dotfiles/ssh/config file is there anything mentioning user chovy?

@ralyodio There was an authorized_keys file in your homedir, that contained a key not present in our user database. (Note that our servers are configured not to check authorized_keys files, only our userdb)

I added it to our user database, so if you do have that key you should be able to log in:

Nope, there was no .ssh/config at all.

[ralyodio]
