I deleted my ClawHub account because it still showed my old GitHub username after a rename. Now I cannot log back in: clicking "Sign in with GitHub" refreshes/loops and I'm never logged in.

Summary

I deleted my ClawHub account because it still showed my old GitHub username after a rename. Now I cannot log back in: clicking "Sign in with GitHub" refreshes/loops and I'm never logged in.

What I already tried

  • Logged out of GitHub completely
  • Cleared site data for clawhub.ai (cookies + local storage)
  • Opened a private/incognito window
  • Logged into only one GitHub account
  • Removed/revoked ClawHub OAuth app access in GitHub
  • Reconnected OAuth

Expected behavior

I should be able to sign in and either:

  1. Recreate my account cleanly, or
  2. Have my existing account link restored correctly to my current GitHub username.

Actual behavior

Login returns to the site but I remain logged out (refresh loop).

Account details

Environment

  • Browser: Chrome (latest)
  • OS: macOS

Notes

Please clear/reset any stale ClawHub auth/account record linked to my GitHub identity so I can sign in again. Happy to provide more debug info if needed.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to clear any stale ClawHub auth/account records linked to the GitHub identity and then attempt to sign in again.

Guidance

  • Verify that all OAuth connections between GitHub and ClawHub have been fully revoked and removed, ensuring no lingering connections.
  • Attempt to sign in with GitHub again after waiting for a short period to ensure any cached data has expired.
  • If the issue persists, provide additional debug information to help identify any remaining stale records or authentication issues.
  • Check the ClawHub account settings or support resources for any specific instructions on handling account renames or username changes.

Example

No specific code example is applicable in this case, as the issue appears to be related to authentication and account linking rather than code functionality.

Notes

The provided steps assume that the issue is indeed related to stale authentication records or caching. If the problem persists after attempting these steps, further investigation into ClawHub's authentication mechanisms or GitHub's OAuth handling may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The user should attempt to clear any stale auth/account records and then sign in again, as this approach directly addresses the likely cause of the issue without requiring any version upgrades or code changes.
