I currently use my SwAG account as primary, but I also have an existing account (created before my SwAG account) with my personal email address. Unfortunately, the “_ **secondary email** _” option only allows an _ **unregistered** _ address to be used.

I’d like to see a feature to **merge existing accounts** , as long as those accounts (i.e., email addresses) belong to me - this can be verified by confirmation emails.

In future, if I move to another organization or want to use my personal account as primary, I don’t want to lose the history/contributions on my current primary account. I suspect this is probably we have thousands of inactive accounts, and the merge feature can help with a cleanup of sorts.

A penny for your thoughts, @anon13459089, @toni.petrov, @Community-admin?

Hi Kasi,

We can merge your accounts. Please just let me know which is your personal email address and I can proceed with merging. Then you can use your Software AG account as primary and set your personal email address as secondary email.

Thanks,  
Mariela
