[00:02:31] Heyo, so if two factor auth is broken for me and I can't find my scratch codes, who do I ask about getting a reset? [00:05:45] stevenwalling: here is probably a good start. i'm not sure if we have a process yet [00:06:11] stevenwalling: Though, you're probably easier to verify who you are than some of the other people we get ;) [00:06:23] Got it. For context: I set up 2fa but Google Authenticator is not sending me a code. I may have bungled the setup process. [00:06:31] Thanks Reedy :) [00:06:48] What do you mean it's not sending you a code? [00:07:02] You should just get a 6 digit number on the app that changes every 30s or so [00:07:38] I do but none of those work. [00:07:50] Strange [00:08:16] So, easiest way I know of to confirm it's you... Message me on facebook messenger? [00:08:17] I figured it was not working because the codes are labeled as being for my personal Google acct, they say nothing about Wikimedia. [00:08:20] Sure [00:16:04] Oh this is interesting [00:16:19] Now that we reset and I re-enabled 2fa (after writing down scratch codes) [00:16:34] I actually see two sets of codes from Google Authenticator labeled as Wikimedia [00:16:57] That sounds like a bug in google authenticator... [00:17:01] yeah [00:17:06] I'd suggest working out which one is right... And delete the other [00:17:32] the keys are the same actually which is what is extra bizarre [00:17:58] but I'll try that. I actually saved scratch codes this time. [00:18:34] That sounds like it's added them twice just now [00:18:51] As when you enabled it the second time... it shouldn't be using the same secret [00:47:12] 2fa for wikimedia lacks the manual codes [00:49:19] Some call the paper codes, other backup verification codes [00:50:55] No it doesn't? [00:50:59] We provide "scratch codes" [00:51:09] Which are OTP when you lose/can't get your device [00:51:23] The seed/secret is displayed if you want to copy it to multiple devices [00:54:04] Strange, I did not get any scratch codes [00:54:30] Of course I'm right and you are wrong! ;) [00:56:17] Could be a failed save on my part, I usually saves this kind of things in an encrypted vault and trow away the key [00:57:56] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Two-factor_authentication#Enabling_two-factor_authentication [00:58:02] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Two-factor_authentication#/media/File:Enroll-Step3.png [01:02:13] Real men never reads manuals!

[11:33:10] I left editing since 5 years ago and I want to delete my account. It is not associated with an email and I forgot the password. [11:36:25] How is this a password login issue? [11:37:33] I dunno, might someone can ask me questions to check the account is mine [11:37:38] so i can log in [11:37:53] I want to delete it, not to edit [11:37:59] I wish if you can help [11:38:27] JohnRak: you will not be able to delete the account even if you login. No such feature exists. [11:38:43] For the English Wikipedia, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy#Deleting_and_merging_accounts [11:39:16] I was told i can blank pages and post {{NOINDEX}} and {{speedy|user requested}} [11:39:21] something like that [11:40:30] Nemo_bis: for background, JohnRak was in -en asking similar - I believe they would like someone to tag the user page of enwp [[User:JohnRak]] as user requested deletion. They cannot log in to confirm they are that account, is there anything you can recommend which would help prove they are the rightful owner of the account? [11:40:56] Your userpage and talkpage are already noindexed. [11:41:12] And your talk page wouldn't be deleted, even if you could log in, only blanked... [11:43:12] maybe blank them and post {{NOINDEX}} on the talk page [11:44:09] I want to delete myself from the internet as much as possible. The idea that the account will be forever open :( [11:47:35] I can give the last login windows type, laptop details, internet company..etc [11:48:03] JohnRak: I'm taking you at your word here, and have deleted the user page [11:48:41] windows 7, laptop: dell [11:49:41] thank you very much TheresNoTime [11:49:51] I do really appreciate it from my heart [11:50:18] can you please blank the talk page and post {{NOINDEX}} [11:50:18] No worries, I'll leave the user page as it is - it's not indexed [11:50:32] hm, okay [11:50:43] thank you very much [11:50:47] bear in mind the posts will remain visible in the history [11:51:51] There you go, done - if you're seeing a search result it may take a while for Google to delist it [11:52:24] thank you so much [11:52:31] once I copied this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JohnRak/twinkleoptions.js [11:52:44] subpage from my account [15:18:29] [[Tech]]; Stryn; Undo revision 16390895 by [[Special:Contributions/180.253.129.44|180.253.129.44]] ([[User talk:180.253.129.44|talk]]); https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=16392335&oldid=16391056&rcid=9111570 [15:24:54] [[Tech]]; Malyacko; /* A little problem */; https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=16392401&oldid=16392335&rcid=9111669 [17:08:34] Hi, apparently the article_first_contributor variable in AbuseFilter isn't working in eswiki, anyone available to help? [17:20:47] jem: Is it working on other wikis? [17:21:05] Do we know when it stopped? [17:21:09] Well... [17:21:26] I think it could be difficult to check other wikis if I'm not a sysop [17:21:51] And I don't know if it stopped... or if it worked at any time [17:22:49] I just learned about it, I tried to add it to a filter, but I see that & article_first_contributor == "" is the only condition that gives true [17:24:08] jem, what do You want to achieve? [17:24:28] masti: I want to allow to the article creator to remove a big part of it [17:24:42] Which normally our filter doesn't allow [17:24:49] OK [17:25:08] And this is causing some problems in edit-a-thons [17:25:54] I see it was added in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T69793 and apparently closed with no problems [17:26:34] I was thinking about other way to achieve the result but apparently You need exactly this one :) [17:27:11] Yes, I think so :) [17:28:25] jem: I'd highly suggest filing a task [17:29:00] Ok, Reedy, reopening T69793 would be ok?
