Looks like gitlab now requires account verification for new accounts in addition to email. Either phone number or credit card.

This applies both to accounts created with a working email or by logging in using your github account. You can’t even verify your email until you go through step 1.

I don’t know when this started, but at least for the last month or two judging from these posts in the forums.

Fun fact: I don’t even want to host on gitlab, I just wanted to report bugs in some projects. So I’m locked out.

    sorry but deleting the account is absolutely ridiculous.

    mark it inactive but just deleting someone’s entire git history because they didn’t put in a phone number or credit card is so dumb.

    i don’t even need a phone number or credit card for my github account.

      Based on the image text this is for new accounts only. My account has neither phone nor credit card and I’ve not been asked to re-verify. Maybe they’re having problems with bots at the moment.

        I have to go through the ridiculous cloudfare verification page now. How do they have a bot issue?

      I think this is for new accounts only, if you already have an account, your E-Mail will already be verified

      Good thing it’s only deleting your account if it’s a new account that you didn’t finish the registration process for
