I started participating here before the site implemented OAUTH support (e.g. login with Twitter, Facebook, OpenID identity, etc.)... Is there any way to associate/merge my preexisting local username (wesmorgan1) with my Twitter handle (also wesmorgan1)? When I try to log in with Twitter, I get an HTTP 500 error code... I'd like to keep my identity, history, badges, etc... asked 06 Feb '14, 13:37  wesmorgan1 |
One Answer:
You can do it by adding a new authentication provider (Facebook) to your user settings. Click on your name, then choose:
As soon as you have authenticated with Facebook, you will see the Facebook authentication provider. The username on Facebook and Wireshark can be different - I just tested it. From now on, you can authenticate with both methods (username/password) and via your Facebook account. I've just done it, and did not realize any problems.

(19 Feb '14, 10:42) wesmorgan1 Can you please try with a Facebook account? That worked for me. (19 Feb '14, 10:44) Kurt Knochner ♦ Facebook worked...

IOW: you no longer want to use your ask.wireshark.org "local username and password" to login ?
