Hi, I was on stackoverflow yesterday and was doing well. Today all of the sudden when I visited the site, it didn't log me in automatically. Ok fine, so I clicked on login, chose my openid account provider (google) and it says to confirm new account creation. Why? did I just lose all the progress I made, which isn't much, but still.

Please help.

You probably have multiple gmail accounts.

Log out of gmail or use a different web browser.

  • Nevermind...the second account I tried asked me to allow access. So I figured it wasn't the account I use for SO and backed out. I tried it now and it works. So sorry for wasting time.

  • I actually went ahead and assciated both gmail accounts to the same SO account and META SO account just in case. Thanks.

Mail [email protected] and explain your problem.

It is possible that something is up with OpenID this morning; I arrived at work to find my SO and meta accounts had logged themselves out, and I could not log in using my Livejournal account (this happened once before, a few weeks ago).

If there is a persistent issue, an announcement will be made here on meta and on the blog.*

    Is your post getting smaller every time this page has a new action?
