FAS email for authentication

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Why does FAS use the email forwarding address when I use it to
authenticate, rather than the permanent @fedoraproject.org alias for
the address?

I should be able to change my forwarding address without changing how
authentication works. However, it looks like if I change my forwarding
address, then try to use FAS to log in to Bugzilla, it would tell me
that there is no account for <forwarding address> and asks if I want
to register. This currently happens when I try to log in with FAS,
because I registered my bugzilla account using my
ctubbsii@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx alias instead. Obviously, I don't want to
create a new account if I change my forwarding address. I can't
imagine ever wanting to authenticate using my forwarding address,
rather than my Fedora alias for accessing Fedora systems, because my
forwarding address is subject to change.

Every FAS account has a corresponding @fedoraproject.org email alias.
So, why doesn't FAS use that? In my opinion, it should, and to make it
clear, the Fedora Accounts profile page should be changed to have a
grayed out field for Email that shows your @fedoraproject.org email
alias, in addition to the Email field that you can edit to update your
registered/forwarding address.

Also, why doesn't the FAS OAuth login redirect page show the password
and 2FA fields separately, like on the Fedora Accounts
(accounts.fedoraproject.org) page? It would be much nicer on password
managers, which are easily confused into thinking you've changed your
password every time you manually append the 2FA code to the password.
