In this day and age, sharing this community forum discussion here is the only way to get resolution. I'm happy helping people out and tweeting my displeasure with companies, but we need some way to scale this. We can't just help the people that get enough publicity. We think we're helping, and we are, but only a small amount of situations end up getting front paged.

I think atlassian’s position is correct here, sad to say. They had to make a branch cut and i don’t think the other arm would be safe for them (company stuff leaked to a private account). Of course that stuff was already leaked, but I think the liability would fall on Atlassian if the company count delete that stuff.

Don’t connect your personal stuff to your work stuff. That’s messed me up more than once — lesson learned, painfully.

This sucks but isn't Atlassians fault. The lesson is of course to never connect an account you don't own to anything you can't afford to lose.

I understand Atlassian's part here. But Atlassian did this on purpose. They clearly understand the implication and the ownership of accounts, but they deliberately ignored individual users over big corporate accounts. And in my case, they didn't even have the courtesy to notify me in any way. I just stopped working one day leaving all my data unbale to use.

Why would they allow an account with multiple email addresses to login with the non SSO one? In your case you aren’t malicious but there could be used maliciously

- add your person email

- get fired and login with that email and now have all the data
