Description
A Zendesk user wrote to me saying her username is margereilly but she wasn't sure what email was associated with the name (possibilities were margaret.reilly@cuny.edu, margaret.reilly@mail.cuny.edu or old email mreilly@qcc.cuny.edu). I couldn't find anything with those emails. Searching under username margereilly yielded username margereillyrn with email margereilly@hotmail.com. How is this possible (that there are two usernames associated with one account)?
She just wrote:
"As per directions from George Otte –
I set up an account using my personal email (margereilly@hotmail.com)
I would much prefer to access my original COMMONS account that has the user name
margereilly
But I am unable to reset that password to
Can that be done? The account with username margereillyrn/email margereilly@hotmail.com be switched to username margereilly/ email margaret.reilly@cuny.edu? Thanks!

Here's what I see:
1. An account with username margereilly and email address MReilly@qcc.cuny.edu, registered 2013-02-25
2. An account with username margereillyrn and email address margaret.reilly@cuny.edu, registered 2017-02-24
The margereillyrn account appears to have been originally registered with the email address margereilly@hotmail.com. (She used a non-CUNY signup code to register.)
If the user would prefer the margereilly account, she should initiate a password-reset request and then check the qcc.cuny.edu email address. If she doesn't have access to that address, we can see about manually resetting the password, or changing the associated email address.

Hi Marilyn - Did you ever hear back about this?

I wrote to her on Feb 27:
Marge -
Your margereillyrn account is now connected to your email address margaret.reilly@cuny.edu, Please let us know if that solves the problem. Thanks!
She never replied, so I think that means all is well. Feel free to close.
