My company recently started using trello and noted my old login was hijacked somehow and associated with my work domain. How do I unfuck this situation while still employed with access to both my gmail and wor email?
GitHub did this to me a few years ago. I still feel violated. Not by my idiot former employer. I feel violated by GitHub. I got my account back. Sort of. They detached a significant amount of my content from my account, and returned to me a gimpy lobotomized version of myself. All my old GitHub comments are credited to “ghost” now. I was somewhere in the first 12,000 GitHub accounts. My relationship with GitHub signi…
Sounds kinda like the users fault, having a corporate and personal email on the same account. Atlassian probably could put a warning though about the issues that could arise.
I am the user in this case. I understand Atlassian's position in this case but this is so hard to track over such a long period of time. I left this workplace almost 5 years back and the account worked fine. Then it suddenly stopped working without any notification from their side.
While I understand, the pain - I sympathize: please note that no permissions management system (or identity and authentication is so perfect that every case can be handled perfectly). As others say, you should have verified spent a bit of time to cleanup - because at the end - you lose time/money/whatever.
In the worst case, any company or even govt can just say sorry or some credits.
Even if the company is to blame 99 % you need to take 1 % responsibility.

The specter of this sort of violation hangs over the shoulder of every internet user now - the loss of an account on a service like Facebook, GitHub, or Trello could be life-altering. Our digital selves are all at risk of becoming The Trial's protagonist. Do we have any protection besides moving to a new platform that's not big enough to betray its users yet?
From the comments, there is some confusion about why did i attach my personal email to a company account. That was not the case, let me clarify it. I created my personal account long before Trello was acquired by Atlassian. It did not have any SSO at that point and the login was with username and password. At some point, while working on a side project and to share it with a teammate, I attached a secondary email to…

True, but by using profiles you don't need any extra extensions, it comes built-in in both Chrome and Firefox, you can simply start it with providing the `--profile ` flag. Correct me if I'm wrong, but some IT environments also lock down installing extensions from addons.mozilla.org, so the profiles tip would be applicable to more people.

Atlassian is not the only one who wrecked login by implementing SSO across all their instances. I really don’t recommend using in-app dual logins (for example Gmail’s dual login), and stick to using separate Chrome profiles or Firefox profiles, so that none of the cookies are shared. Even with that, I’ve had surprises with my mobile phone number being the only shared information between two Google Ads accounts, and G…

Firefox Containers are awful.
Only firefox profiles can give you true separation.
It would have been better if Mozilla had added a better interface to profiles.

Atlassian sent me an email earlier this year warning that all @company.com accounts were about to be converted to corporate accounts and that I had a month to opt out. (I did not opt out, because my @company.com Trello account was intended for use with my company) This person’s warning email probably ended up in spam. In general I’m not sure the best way Atlassian could have handled this. The recent upgrade to move @…
IMO they should handle secondary emails differently to primary emails. Some sort of in your face warming when you login to trello before the migration may be appropriate.

Also, you can backup/restore/move profiles independently of each other.
Also, you can have different network settings for different profiles (not sure you can do that with containers).
For example I have a profile whose network connections are such that traffic is forwarded through a socks proxy (implemented via ssh). That's basically an ultra-simple vpn. I can then (via a script) automatically launch the tunnel open firefox with the appropriate profile and then exit firefox and gracefully stopping my tunnel.
