Log In to GitLab account without Email Confirmation - email

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.

GitHub device verification email not received

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.

Github PAT creation triggers 2 emails, is it a security issue?

I am receiving 2 emails about the creation of PAT, is it a security vulnerability? or a Bug?
Note: I have 2 emails attached to my GitHub account (both emails configured to same mailbox, means those are alias emails) and we use GitHub Enterprise Server (not cloud)
I found the solution, it's a feature, by default security-relevant mails are sent to backup email Id, it can be changed in profile -> Email -> Backup Email Address.
GHES version: 3.2.9
Adding it as this may help someone. Have a nice day.

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:

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}

gitlab generates no passwords

I installed gitlab 6.2 on my server as seen here installation.md
When I add a user via web interface the user receives the mail send by gitlab.
But without password.
The Administrator created an account for you. Now you are a member of the company GitLab application.
login.......................................... sample#domain.com
password..................................
You will be forced to change this password immediately after login.
Click here to login
When I change the password of the user manually in the admin panel the login is successful.
In my gitlab.yml I have this:
## Users management
# default: false - Account passwords are not sent via the email if signup is enabled.
# signup_enabled: true
There is currently a bug in Gitlab 6.2. There is already a a bugfix for that in master branch: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/pull/5436
You can apply this change manually to fix the problem.
