Launchpad ain't sending me any emails...

[sandyd]

I apparently forgot my launchpad account password O_o, so I asked for password recovery. 30 minutes later, and still no password in my inbox.

help?
I really wanna come a ubuntu member, but I can't if I can't even create my wiki page :P

Junk mail folder?

I reset my password and it showed up in my inbox in a couple minutes.

already checked.
email accounts working correctly as well, as I just sent an email from another of my accounts.

maybe launchpad doesn't like windows live domains...

Highly doubt that that is the case.
Have you retried already?

Could be graylisted or something idk. My launchpad is set to a gmail address.

You didn`t forget that launchpad (completely stupidly) requires that one character of your password is uppercase.

So my UF irc and launchpad password are the same, except that in launchpad the first letter of the password is uppercase.

Trips me up all the time.

My passwords looks something like this: IA8IC41WdeKZkvU (which isn't my password >.>)

Hurray for password generators.

Off topic,

As I have discussed before, I have one password, for everything. It`s always been the same. Let`s say rollingstones.

Periodically, I change how I "encrypt" it. I usually use three rules. So eg

move everything one letter up and rollinstones becomes


spmmjotupoft

then make every letter in the pattern 1 + 3 + 1 +3 be the number of the alphabet it corresponds to + 2

spmmjotupoft becomes
21pmm1217tup178t

Then make every number a letter and viceversa
ba161414abag202116agh20

So I get my new password, and after a day or 6, I remember it, and launchpad want`s me to have a mixture of uppercase and lowercase, weather my perfectly good system of password generation has them or not. Grrrrrr

Carlee, you just changed your email address. Would that have anything to do with it?

not really, because Ive tried all my emails associated with my launchpad profile.

and it looks like some other people (have) experienced it...

I finally found it out today.

Apparently, the launchpad.net email system does NOT integrate with the launchpad SSO email roster. They were sending the recovery emails to a dusty inbox that I hadn't used since a month of joining ubuntu....
