What's the proper way of obtaining an account on CPAN? - perl

Can you please tell me the steps I need to follow in order to obtain an account on CPAN? I'd like to contribute some modules.
A while back, I tried to create an account, and I remember I got back a mail containing some of this text:
The following links are only valid for PAUSE maintainers: and there were 2 links :
Registration form with editing capabilities:
and
Immediate (one click) registration:
I remember I clicked on the Immediate registration but it asked me for a username & password.I did not knew how to go on from there. Was I going in the wrong direction? Does anyone have a step by step account registration tutorial?

It's been so long since I created my CPAN account that I almost forgot. But you need to go to http://pause.perl.org/ and click "Request a PAUSE Account". PAUSE is the upload backend for CPAN, and from there you can register your account, create a new module, etc.

Follow the steps from the CPAN FAQ PAUSE FAQ. You need to supply a user name and a password to create an account.
When I registered a couple years ago, the first email I got was a simple acknowledgement that I requested an account. The second email was to welcome me as a new user; it notified me of an auto-generated password, and requested me to change my password.
It looks like you might be able to track your progress from this website: PAUSE.
Search for your user name.
I also ran a SuperSearch on PerlMonks to see if others have had problems with PAUSE. This is what turned up:
PAUSE ID
Is PAUSE working?

The perldoc for perlnewmod is a good starting point, and includes all the instructions you will need to setup your module properly for CPAN.

Send email to modules#perl.org for assistance. Browse the archives for your PAUSE id application.

Create automation test in cypress that will register user with different emails and accept registration message on user email

Until now I was using MailSlurp for this task but it has limits when using the basic plan.
Is there any other way that would solve the problem?
Test Case Steps:
Register user with random email
Go to the created email address and click the activation link sent by the app
I found the solution.
I used a small library called gmail-tester https://www.npmjs.com/package/gmail-tester, and it does its job perfectly.
I've had a problem with configuring it but in the end, it's working.
I can check now has user received an email, and assert the content of the emails.
You can use faker to generate a random word and then just add that word to the end of your email with a + it would look something like this
cy.get('someElement').type(`something+${faker.random.words(1)}#example.com`);
Then you can just navigate to your own email address and click the link from there. The only issue you are going to have is that you wont be able to do this all is the same test case as cypress does not support cross browser testing.
Also Im not sure if the activation link redirects you or not, but if it does you wont be able to navigate to that link either.
Here is an awesome article showing how you can use MailTrap to do this:

Locked out of GSuite Admin after domain verification

I have signed up for Gsuite Essentials and attempted up upgrade to Gsuite Enterprise. I only have a single email address eg a#abc.com. I had already been using this account as a normal google account. (no gmail though).
I couldn't get the admin console to show the upgrade option, but found I needed to verify my domain. So I added the TXT record to my domain abc.com, which would then let me verify.
I could then log in to the admin console as a#abc.com and clicked on the upgrade option and completed the process. This then let my a#abc.com user have access to Gmail. I have not transferred any domain settings over to google, that is all still externally hosted.
I can now no longer log in to the admin console, it says that my a#abc.com account doesn't have the rights and I need to log in as the administrator. There is no other account linked to the Gsuite settings, so there is no other administrator. I can still log in to the normal google account and do the same functions as previous.
I have now removed the TXT record hoping that would cancel it out again.
How do I get access to the admin side again?
Side note: What I am mostly worried about is that I put my credit card details into the signup, but can't get into the admin page and can't contact any form of support. It is literally impossible to get support to use the serve I paid for.
First thing first, the txt records are a string for the only purpose to verify the ownership of the domain therefore deleting them won't change anything you only need this record for the verification process and once is done you can delete them.
As an example is like a text message sent to your mobile phone, if you delete the message nothing will happen right?
I tell you this so you won't more time on the domain DNS zone settings because the issue is not there and you won't solve the problem.
There may be few things that may have happened.
The first thing you should do is to navigate in an Incognito page, make sure that is the only incognito page that you have opened and log in with a#abc.com.
Try to run different test in incognito, the issue really looks like that you are logged in with multiple Google Accounts and when you go do admin.google.com it picks up the wrong one. That's why you should go in incognito.
EDIT
Use as reference this link Here.
Follow the steps in Paragraph 'I'm taking control from another admin' here the steps:
Go to the G Suite Essentials sign-up page.
2, Sign up using your email address at the domain you're verifying.
Use an address where you can get mail.
Follow instructions in the Setup Wizard to become the admin who manages G Suite Essentials for all users at your organization.
If this didn't solve the issue then you should contact the Google Support and they will tell you what happened.
The thing is that if you can't access the Google Admin you won't be able to contact the Google Support, hence you should follow this:
.1 Can't sign in to the Admin console: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6335621?hl=en

Unable to use sandbox accounts

I really need your help guys. Since two hours I'm facing with a very strange problem related to Paypal Sandbox. I read lot of answers here on stack overflow but none of them helps me.
I'll try the explain my problem: when I create a new sandbox account (respecting all rules like password strength, load balance etc.) I receive the "success" message, the account is created and visible in the list, but when I open it using "Profile" button I receive this error message (and is really a problem because I need to get the username, password and signature to work in sandbox mode):
Account Details
Your request is still processing, please wait...
No difference between "Buyer" or "Seller" account, it always fail.
I've tried in many ways (using notes, changing email address, using custom numbers into email) but nothing is work for me.
Someone can suggest me what can I do?
Thank you very much.
I think I've found a temporary solution to works with PayPal sandbox.
Instead of create an account using "Create Account" button you have to register a new account using sandbox website.
In details:
Go To: https://sandbox.paypal.com
Register a Business Account
Go To: https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/ and click con "Click Here". This link is placed in the Second paragraph of the page:
Want to link existing Sandbox Account with your developer account? Click Here and provide credentials of your sandbox account
You will be redirect to sandbox paypal web site, if you don't do anything it will recognize your previous register account (anyway, if not, you have to login with the new created account), procede with linking process and after you will have, in the list of accounts, a new one with "Profile" button ready to show you informations necessary to works.
I don't understand way paypal release an important tool like this with a lot of bugs. No response received from no one.
BugPal your are luky because we needs you but please, improve your development process! :#
Looks like a general problem on Paypal side. We see same issues with two of our accounts. It was working last friday.

Disabling customer login & registration on checkout in Magento

I've been looking for a few days now for a way to disable the automatic customer registration that occurs when a customer finishes an order in the checkout in Magento. What happens is that the user is logged in to his or her account, and two emails are sent. One containing the order confirmation, and another one, welcoming the user as a customer, including his or her account information.
What I'd like to do is to disable the email containing the welcome, and disable the registration/ login of the account.
Like I said, I've been trying to find some leads on where to look for a few days now, but to no avail. I'd appreciate if someone could help me figure out what files to look at, and also what parts of those files.
Also, maybe I should mention that the website is using a One Step Checkout.
Thanks in advance,
Base on your system setting you need to make changes in one of the two files listed below. Copy the templates to your custom theme folder and make the changes as needed to remove the login section and links.
/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/checkout/onepage/login.phtml
/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/persistent/checkout/onepage/login.phtml

Use Powershell to change password on login

At the moment I'm building a login Script on powershell basis.
This login script should be able to change the users Password on login and change it back to the original on logout.
Problem here being that I want to change a Password of a domain user, the same user as the one who is logged in obviously
Now I found some neat stuff like the old, net.exe. but it all says I don't have the rights to change the password in the Domain.
I really can't believe that this is something impossible cause the user himself can change the password too.
Otherwise I'd have to find out how to run a login script with a domain admin...
Edit:
ok I'll try to explain our setup we have a so called VMware View environment, in which every user can login once. now we have the problem that there are accounts with generally known passwords, and some people find it highly amusing to steal others sessions. I've thought about it and making a little script that changes and then resets the password would be a neat little solution. I hope I was of help^^
It would be really helpfull if I could get some thoughts on this
Thanks in advance
This link might help you.
Also, according to the link above, you need to be on the domain controller to use net to change password (or supply the "/domain" option).
