Bug Description

When trying to login to MoinMoin wiki, I'm redirected to the Launchpad OpenID page. After confirming the login process and being taken back to the wiki the following text is shown: »The username you have chosen is already taken. If it is your username, enter your password below to associate the username with your OpenID. Otherwise, please choose a different username and leave the password field blank.«

Entering the password (which is 100% correct as well as the username) just takes me back to this page.

I can associate a new username with my Launchpad account but it is not stored and therefore can only be used once. So if I want to log in I can only do so by choosing a different username on each log in.

I have to be able to edit the wiki and therefore would like to see this problem fixed as soon as possible.

Maybe my account is broken since I had a similar problem, tracked in Bug 702617: https://bugs.launchpad.net/moin-openid/+bug/702617

Maybe related to Bug 386167, since I have one empty greyed-out PPA. Although I don't know how the Launchpad PPAs relate to the wiki …

By the way, my wiki username does not have any special characters in it.

Symptoms are exactly the same as in Bug 574961, but it cannot be caused by hyphens since there are none in my username.

Another very similar Bug 342431. I didn't change my username though but I changed my primary email address. Maybe that has something to do with it?
