I had to start this new account with a different email because OpenStreetMap is not recognizing my original email account when i request a new password. How do i fix this? HELP!? my original account was set up with a gmail account if that means anything to anyone. asked 27 Mar '13, 19:54 cityresearch |
Please use the search function first before asking a question, nearly all common question have been answered more than once. Searching for "account" returns among others https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/16120/osm-nickname-and-account-history-lost answered 27 Mar '13, 22:41 SimonPoole ♦ |
What do you mean by "not recognizing my original email account"? On which page (URL)? What is the error message? Was you original OSM account set up and used?
One thing to check: did you originally register using address@googlemail.com rather than address@gmail.com? Google direct the two to the same inbox, but OSM (and indeed any other website) has no way of knowing they're the same.
