Account recovery request

Reason for request

Dear PyPI Support Team,

I’m writing to request assistance in regaining access to a package I previously published on PyPI under the username arl6366, associated with the email alr6366@psu.edu.

The package in question is: IGEM

Due to a change in institutional affiliation (from PSU to the University of Pennsylvania), I no longer have access to the original email address, and unfortunately, the API token and GPG key were lost during the reinstallation of my previous laptop.

However, I still have access to the GitHub repository that contains the original source code, commit history, and release tags corresponding to the versions published on PyPI. I am able to verify authorship and ownership through that repository.

I kindly ask if it’s possible to regain access to the project or transfer it to my new PyPI account and email address. I would be happy to provide any additional verification or perform required steps to confirm my identity as the original maintainer.

My new user in the PyPI is: garan-sys

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hi @AndreRico,

What we can do is update the email address for your first PyPI account, and once we do that, you can invite yourself to be a co-owner of the package. Please contact support@pypi.org with an email address that you would like your first account to be associated with and please reference this link (#6430). We will proceed from there.

fyi, we have a one unique email per one unique account policy, so we can't use the email address for your garan-sys email.

Thanks!

Hi @AndreRico,

Thanks for completing the verification process. The verification was successful! I have updated the primary email address on the account. Your 2FA has been reset and a password reset has been issued. You should be able to regain access to your account after completing the password reset. Let us know if you have any more issues. Thanks.
