I can't add WordPress/OpenID login to my existing Stack&nbsp;Exchange account, why?  Trying to do this, the Stack&nbsp;Exchange user-authenticate page always says:      Oops! Something Bad Happened!", and that the problem is "in our side"..?

I am attempting to use WordPress as my OpenID provider. I select the WP icon and when I click on "add credential" the OpenID URL is set to http://{user}.wordpress.com/. This takes me to the WordPress site, where I am logged in and have access to my account there, but it does not return me to Stack&nbsp;Exchange.  I have tried the setup from two Stack&nbsp;Exchange sites with similar results. I have tried the https: version with the same result. My userid, alias {user} here, is the same as my old Verisign one &mdash; I will delete that first if that's likely to be the problem.  I didn't see any prior question that gives me ideas. I conclude that there is an incompatibility between WordPress and Stack&nbsp;Exchange. Perhaps WP needs a subdomain which is not present here? Verisign used pip. specifically for OpenID. Can anyone verify if WP OpenID works for them? Otherwise, Stack&nbsp;Exchange may need to repair the interface or I may need to find an OpenID provider that works.  Of course, this only came up because Verisign will soon cancel their service.

As a signed in user when I click on "Ask a Question" (which goes to the page ) I get an "Oops! Something Bad Happened!" error.

Just noticed the "meta user" link under the picture and reputation on the Stack Exchange user's page. It doesn't seem to work for all users. Error is "Page Not Found".   Not working:  /  Working:  /    My guess is this is because they've never logged into the meta site.

I am unable to update my user profile settings on Stack Overflow as I receive the following warning:     Oops! There was a problem updating your profile:   This email address is already registered. If it belongs to you, log in above or visit our account recovery page to get access to this account.   I have read through some of the similar questions about having to merge accounts but I only appear to have one account. I tried logging in with Facebook and standard email but both appear to link to the same user number.

Is Area51 login broken? I tried to sign up today and this happened:    Unable to log in with your OpenID provider:  An unexpected error occurred while logging in. It's not you, it's us. This is our fault. Detailed information about this error has automatically been recorded and we have been notified.   To clarify, this is happening as soon as I click either the sign up or the log in buttons. I never get asked if I want to log in with OpenID (I don't; I don't even have an OpenID), nor do I have any other way of influencing the outcome.

I just downloaded the Stack Exchange app from Play Store and when I tried to login there was no option to login with Facebook, am I missing something? Is it connected with OpenID?

How do I change my password?  I have a Stack Exchange account but can't seem to find the option to change my password.  Help please?

Sometimes OpenID providers end their services, like  and  did. How do I add or remove login methods so I don't get locked out of my Stack Exchange account?     For more information, see  in the Help Center.

I think I accidently created two accounts and now I cannot change my username:      Oops! There was a problem updating your profile: •This email address is already registered. If it belongs to you, log in above or visit our account recovery page to get access to this account.   I did the recovery process but that did not help! I know that this question was asked multiple times but I cannot find a solution for me. Similar topics for example:    How to merge?

How do I log in if my OpenID is not available, or maybe even no longer exists? Can I restore my lost account, or do I need to start over?  See also:

is it possible to login/create user in stackoverflow.com without creating/login using OpenID? i hate using OpenID, it's really confusing if you create different user/account on different websites :(     Note: the following text was submitted as an edit suggestion. I approved it, giving the user the benefit of the doubt and assuming that it was the OP's other account. -   even when i want to post this question under my new openid, i still logged as the old user, so i can't view my own question when i logged under my userid

I tried to search for similar questions, as I always do, but was not able to find one. I just created a new  on Data.Stack Exchange with my existing Google OpenID and it seems to be not associated with my regular Stack Exchange account. Is this by design? and if so, why?

How can I change my login email address for Stack Overflow?   I tried editing from my account, but that didn't work if I used that email during login.

I am new to Stack Overflow. I keep seeing so many beautiful posts/answers. It's really a great place for everyone getting to know about software programming. Lots of people post so much knowledge in terms of solutions and algorithms that may be proprietary/open source information.  The least amount of personal information I can provide is my email id, if I connect with Google, Facebook, etc. However, the email id itself reveals my association and the work I do.  This makes me believe that Personally Identifiable Information on Stack Exchange should be absolutely safe and not available to anyone, even the admins.   My concerns are:   Who can see my PII on SO? Is it safe from attacks?   Note:  It may be a paranoid / unimaginable aspect associated with how Stack Overflow works, but I think those who want to break things find ways to do it in unimaginable ways. Most people have work place information available publically on linkedin / facebook / google. Not all will use open id, hence the question.

I think I originally signed up with a Launchpad account, but looking at “My Logins” I see two accounts: a StackExchange one (used yesterday) and Launchpad (used Jun 28 ’18) so I suppose I created a new login when OpenID support was dropped. I’ve tried logging out and logging back in with both, clearing the browser cache each time, but I just get the same message.

We will be rolling out a new, fully re-factored and redesigned login &amp; signup pathway on Meta tomorrow morning, just missing  back in October.    As many of you are aware, our current design has been around for years.  To keep everything secure, we had to use iframes and redirect users to openID.stackexchange.com during parts of our sign-up process.  We've known for quite a while where we wanted to take the design, but we were  to make it work.  What you'll find in the new version:   End to end SSL A simplified design placing the services that 95% of our users need front and center ( Don't worry, all of the old services are still there.  Except MyOpenID. It's still dead.) No more redirects to openID.stackexchange.com for email verification or account recovery Shorter, and separate, pathways for signup and login that don't use iframes.   We hope this new design will be easier and less confusing for new users and quicker for existing users.  Since this is a full refactor, it's likely we've missed some edge cases during internal testing. We would be very appreciative if you guys could kick the tires a little and let us know if something doesn't look right.  Please post requests and bug reports in this thread until we rollout network wide.    The new login and signup pages have now been rolled out on Meta - do your worst!

When I try to use Firefox to create an account on Stack Overflow, it told me that  "Stack Overflow requires cookies for authentication -- are your browser cookies enabled for this domain?"  It works when I use IE, but I don't want to use IE.  My Question: How do I fix this?
