"This ain't you" error thrown inappropriately

Closed this issue 11 years ago · 3 comments

I suspect this comes from having made my account with Twitter and having signed in to edit it with GitHub. Although the site recognizes that I'm signed into my own account, when I try to edit my profile it tells me I'm not me.

I'm not particularly concerned or bothered by this, I just thought you might like to know.

Anyone was able to reproduce it since then?

I'm not sure how he was recognized as the same user, since Twitter doesn't share your email address.

I think this may be resolved now. I think the edit profile page used the username in the url rather than the logged in user. We should verify and possibly move the edit profile page to /accounts/profile/edit or something along those lines.
