Re: Found my old account, and writings
by Past Member 'northernwrites'
That option is not offered. You are, however, only allowed one account.

Since the new account is pretty much unused, the usual course of action is to recover the old account, and delete the new one.

If you know the password for the old account, you can sign in.

If you know the offsite email address listed in the old account and it's still an active account, you can use this utility to recover the password for the old account:
          forgotten password: http://www.writing.com/main/forgotten

If you don't know your password and don't have access to the email address that is listed as the offsite email, then to verify your identity, you would need to fax a copy of an ID that links your first and last name on the account with the name on the ID that is faxed. The fax should include: The username of the account, a request to change the password and what the password should be changed to. The fax number is in Contact Writing.Com from Writing.Com 101 .

Once you have access again, you should change the offsite email in your account information to one that is current.

Also be sure to delete the temporary account while signed into the temporary account. The link to Close An Account is at the bottom of the page.





Hope that helps.
