GitHub device verification email not received - github

After reinstalling windows on my machine, i have tried to login to my Github account using the same user-name password stored in the browser with my Microsoft account...
with Sign in to GitHub
Username or email address page:
its seems to accept the credentials (tried with email as well with username) and then navigate to the next page saying:
Device verification code
We just sent your authentication code via email to y**************#hotmail.com.
But I never receive any email!!!
not in inbox or junk email beside the GitHub Community Summary..
i am afraid to try the Forgot password option - because perhaps it get the auth issue even worse.

Resetting the password seems to be a solution.
The email should arrive within a few minutes in case of setting a new password, even if you had problems in the authentication process.

Forward email using MailKit

I am trying to email EML files via Gmail SMTP server using MailKit. I followed example provided by jstedfast to build MimeMesage and send via Gmail SMTP server. I am able to send email using both the simple authentication using (user account, user password) and using OAUTH2. I followed example how to Setting up OAuth2 for use with Google Mail and all works fine, except that it seems that I have to configure access Scopes to include "https://mail.google.com/"
var accessScopes = new[]
{
"https://mail.google.com/",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send"
};
otherwise sending fails with the following error:
535: 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials c5sm231676iod.25 - gsmtp
I assumed that I need to configure access scope with the gmail.send only but it doesn't seem to work.
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send"
I don't want to configure "https://mail.google.com/" which implies full access to the gmail account. When the consent screen is presented to users, users may hesitate to accept all access scopes which seems to be required otherwise sending of mails fails.
I tried to configure some of the read only scopes instead of "https://mail.google.com/" but it doesn't seem to work.
What I am missing?
Thank you
The "https://mail.google.com/" scope is the only scope that works with SMTP, POP3 and/or IMAP.
All of the other scopes are only available to use with the Google REST APIs.

Log In to GitLab account without Email Confirmation

I created a GitLab account but I accidentally provided an email account that did not exist as the email. I cannot understand how GitLab couldn't verify that during the Registration Process. So now I cannot log into my GitLab account as it asks me to
confirm my email before continuing
. I did not provide the email as the username, however.
So now I seem to be locked out of my account because of a faulty email address. Is there any way that I could change the email to the correct one? I have the username and password.
Note: the username is important and I don't want it to be changed, so creating another account is out of the question.

IBM API Connect developer portal admin link missing

I have setup an API Connect developer portal in the sandbox catalog (I've been following the basic tutorials about configuring an API developer portal found here).
I receive a message saying that i'll get a one time login link so that i can login to the portal as admin and reset my password. However, this never arrives. I have tried configuring the portal a number of times now and this link never comes. Therefore i'm unable to login as admin.
I've also tried using the 'request new password' option on the developer portal itself and entering my email but this also does not work
Is there a way I can retrieve the login link?
This could be a number of things:
1) the IBM emails often get flagged as spam
2) the IBM email server, or rather the people they've contracted this out to, doesn't fully comply with DKIM/SPF security, so if you are on a corporate server that requires this then you won't get your emails.
The workaround I've done in the past is spin up a gmail account and be sure to check my spam folder.

Getting issues via email stopped working after email account password update

We had a fully working Jira Service Desk installation (JIRA Service Desk Application v3.6.1) for years and on Friday we changed the password of the associated email account ithelp#...
Once the change was done on the Exchange server we updated the password on system-Outgoing Mail and system-Incoming Mail, provided the latest password by clicking on checkbox adjacent to Change Password. After entering the password, click on Update button.. The test in both cases says its working.
If we check Mail audit log for ithelp#... then we see.
If we do a test there then:
And the "view log" shows:
What have we tried?

How to disable email confirmation in gitlab

I set up a gitlab server in ubantu14.4.3SLT
in my case, I want to set up a git server for local users so I do not need user to sign in with any email confirmation.
How can I disable email confirmation in gitlab? are there any api or something simple to disable it?
This isn't a good answer. But ran across this and wanted to skip for a test instance I have. This is what I did(gitlab 10.1.0):
From the rails console:
User.all.each {|u| u.confirmed_at = Time.now; u.save}
