[Haskell-cafe] OAuth on gitlab.haskell.org

[Bryan Richter]

Hi Julian, sorry for the trouble.

You *should* be able to use password reset on GitLab in order to create a
password and log in with it. Others have done this.

I turned off GitHub oauth because there was a deluge of spam accounts that
were bypassing account approval by using it. I do want to turn it back on
eventually, but we need to do some other work first to have better spam
protection.

This mailing list is where I announced the change when it happened. I do
wish I had a better way to reach active users who might run into this...

Let me know if you continue to have trouble getting in.
