i had one for wikivoyage and one for wp and the logins were swapping Tonymet (talk) 14:13, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you list out the cases – I believe there were 2 and they were obvious accidental logins (replies a single thread ) . The usernames are nearly the same and the account has the “alt account disclosure “ Tonymet (talk) 14:15, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just.. use your main account. I warned you on the 27th, you continued to make a series of edits on the 28th. See Special:Contributions/Tonymet. Using two accounts make it harder for people to contact you. Either choose one, or specify a username that clearly indicates why the alternative account exists, so people will not ping the wrong account. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 14:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m planning on using the main . Id like the accusation corrected though .WP:BITE . Tonymet (talk) 14:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not accusing you of anything. The block is only to enforce you to not use the alt account, when you've continued to make edits from it despite my warning. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 15:07, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Im abiding by wp:socklegit for test accounts , explicit association etc and I did what was asked right away . Tonymet (talk) 15:15, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd move us forward if you would consider renaming your account to specify this purpose. Like User:Tonymetz (testing). 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 15:27, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the rename has completed Tonymetz (talk) 18:04, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i submitted another req to follow the pattern that was demanded TonymetzAlt (talk) 21:36, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the help we're good now TonymetzAlt (talk) 01:14, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@0xDeadbeef: This "alt" account was used, after the block, warnings, and subsequent unblock to to make a significant edit to Computer security. Fred Zepelin (talk) 17:50, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also pinging @Bbb23: as it appears Deadbeef is on a wikibreak. Fred Zepelin (talk) 18:09, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SECURESOCK

Security: You may register an alternative account for use when accessing Wikipedia through a public computer, connecting to an unsecured network, or other scenarios when there's a risk of your account being compromised. Such accounts should be publicly connected to the main account or use an easily identified name. For example, User:Mickey might use User:Mickey (alt) or User:Mouse, and redirect that account's user and talk pages to their main account. Tonymetz 💬 19:05, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two-factor authentication users: Users with two-factor authentication may not be able to log on from certain clients. Such users may create a second linked account such as User:Username (phone) or User:Username (mobile) Tonymetz 💬 19:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
