Ask PG: No OpenID login option left me stranded
Hi,
I used OpenID to access my HN account in the past. However, it seems that logging in with OpenID is no longer an option, and that left me in a bit of a pickle. You see, today I deleted all the cookies on my computer, so now I'm logged out of my account and unable to log back in. What can be done about this? It's not like I had an epic karma score, but still, I used that account for quite a long time now and I'd rather not have to create a new one if that can be avoided.
Btw, I only deleted the cookies on my home computer, so I'm still logged in on my work computer.
I'd appreciate it if you could help me with this. Thanks in advance.
