request to reset MPhamWMF phabricator MFA

MPham (WMF) (talkcontribs)

I need to reset my phab MFA for username MPhamWMF

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

@MPham (WMF) Hi, we will need some out-of-band verification here. That's ideally a video call (but I do not know how you look so I'm out of luck, maybe another Phab admin does), or less ideally a confirmation message in that internal "Slack" chat system that WMF seems to use.

MPham (WMF) (talkcontribs)

I sent you a message on slack

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Thanks! I've reset your 2FA. (If you have access to restricted tasks, please set it up again.)

When trying to access the Herald subpage, it displays an error: Access Denied: Restricted Application You do not have permission to view this object. Users with the "Can View" capability: This object has a custom policy controlling who can take this action.

What does it means and why am I somewhat restricted? What are the requirements?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hi, the application is restricted (not you) due to past vandalism when anyone could use it. If you think that you have a need to set up automated filter rules via Herald, please elaborate. Thanks a lot! See also Phabricator/Help/Herald Rules for more info.

Problem solved.

Hello.

I can't log in because of an error with the email. When I linked the Wikimedia account and linked it to the email, I entered a wrong email, and now I'm in a closed-loop where I can't log in.

I have seen on the help page the following message:

"If you can't verify your Phabricator account because you entered an incorrect email address, please add a note on Talk:Phabricator/Help."

And that is why I am writing here.Can someone help me?

Thank you very much.

No E-Mail Updates despite of Default settings

I am an author of several issues and there is some activity but I don't receive any email notifications whatsoever. I checked my email preferences and everything is by default there.

I receive updates from Wikipedia and wikidata to the same email box without a hassle but there is nothing from Phabricator. How can I debug that?

Hi, thanks for answering!

Yes, I had "(default) Enable Email Notifications" but "(default) Disable self action Mail".

In Email preferences everything looks normal. There was time when I enabled Maniphest tasks per Email and started receiving lots of emails about Maniphest tasks so in general it works. I disabled it after that.

What doesn't work is updates on the tasks I've created. Is there a specific preference I should double-check?

E-mail verification. Phabricator sent message to previous e-mail

Hi! I was tried to login on Phabricator. Phabricator asked me to verify my e-mail to create an account: "You must verify your email address to log in. You should have a new email message with verification instructions in your inbox". The problem is that Phabricator have sent message to my previous e-mail which I don't have access for a long time. Is it possible to change an e-mail for verification to the current one, that I used in a E-mail options on my personal page?

AKlapper (WMF) (talkcontribs)

Hi @Rampion, I've deleted your unused Phabricator account, as email addresses cannot be changed in Phabricator. Feel free to re-register.

@Randomyzee Hi, what do you mean by "your" in "your workboard card"? Do you have a link where to see what you mean? The link you provided shows an empty workboard for me.

Codename Noreste (talkcontribs)

On Wikimedia Phabricator, please change my account's name from 64andtim to Codename Noreste as I was renamed on all Wikimedia projects.

Thank you.

Tacsipacsi (talkcontribs)

Phabricator usernames cannot contain spaces. You have a few options: underscore instead of space (Codename_Noreste), hyphen instead of space (Codename-Noreste), leave out the space (CodenameNoreste) etc. What do you prefer?

Codename Noreste (talkcontribs)

I choose the third option of leaving out the space (CodenameNoreste).

Codename Noreste (talkcontribs)

Never mind, I am creating a new account on Phabricator under CodenameNoreste.
