Can't move phab account to new wiki account

I recently converted from a contractor to WMF staff. I'd like to move my kchapman phabricator account to use my KChapman_(WMF) wiki account instead of Wonderchook which is what is currently linked. I'm assuming the reason I can't just add my LDAP credentials to be able to do the switch myself is I don't have a developer account.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/kchapman/ indeed shows that your account is connected via SUL/OAuth to your mediawiki.org account named "Wonderchook". Our Phabricator instance does not store any login credentials itself, so every Phab account must always be "linked" to an external account which is either a SUL/OAuth account, or an LDAP/Gerrit/wikitech.wikimedia.org/developer account, or both. Phab admins cannot edit which external account is linked to a Phab account.

I see two options: Either you create a developer account (anyone can do so) and connect it via https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/external/ , then detach your Wonderchook SUL/OAuth account and attach your WMF account (might require re-login), or you register a separate Phab account for your WMF account.
