Change login email or account transfer
Hello, good morning, The email with which I created this account in TechCommunity is from my university, but I already graduated and the university disabled our email, so I don't have it anymore. It...
I faced the same problem and found a workaround.
They simply mess with the disabled property in the input fields.
Here are the steps:
1. Go to that page
2. Open Web Inspector
3. Select the input field and it should jump to the corresponding html part like this:
<input aria-describedby="newEmail_1254152c266b96c_0-validationHelp" class="lia-form-new-email-input lia-form-type-text lia-form-input-vertical" maxlength="80" value="" id="newEmail_1254152c266b96c" name="newEmail" type="text" disabled="">
4. Delete that "disable" property & press Enter.
5. Do the same for the second input field.
6. Change the email.
I tried that and changed it. The email verification was smooth. Everything seems to work after that.
Hope that helps,
Have a nice day!
Update.
Despite the fact that I changed my email.
Despite the fact that I received a verification letter and was able to complete it successfully.
Despite the fact that I was able to log into my account, reply to your post, and so on.
It doesn't work for now.
After the timeout, I was thrown out of my account and I couldn't log in to it again using a new email. But it turned out to go with the old one. The old one is in the settings again.
It's kind of surreal, to be honest.
I hope it will be fixed someday.
