Hi1

Ah, that would explain it. I can't find an account for your email at all, so I assume you already got it sorted, with that switch-and-switch-back on github?

Just discovered the issue - my GitHub account used `+dev` suffix in primary email until a few weeks back. I updated the primary email to not use this suffix. Since this email is listed as secondary in my PostgreSQL account, I couldn't login from any tool (GitHub or Google). Password reset didn't work either. Is it possible that my primary email gets updated to my secondary email address? This should fix the problem. The other option is that I revert my GitHub account's primary email back to `+dev` suffix but I'm migrating away from it so I'd rather avoid it.

Best,

Hi,

I haven't been able to sign in to my PostgreSQL account using Google OAuth. On signing in with my email, I get redirected to https://www.postgresql.org/account/signup/oauth/ which redirects me to:

I've tried logging in with GitHub and Google accounts and see the same error. Also tried resetting my password, but I didn't receive any email. Could someone help me recover my account?

Thank you for your time
