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 ctubb...@fedoraproject.org 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. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
