A: Does deleting a Stack Exchange account delete all accounts using that OpenID?

Anna Lear If I delete my StackExchange account then Will it delete my all account like stack overflow, meta.stackoverflow ?? We'll delete whatever accounts you want us to delete. If you want to remove all your site profiles, just let us know. (And otherwise follow the instructions in the help center.)...

Yes Please delete my all accounts stackexchange also but not stackoverflow
@Williams I marked your profiles (except Stack Overflow) for deletion. They will be removed in 24 hours. If you change your mind, you can cancel that at any time before that by going to your site profiles and clicking "cancel". (If you do change your mind, you have to cancel each deletion individually.)
Thank you but how this big system is working badly that increased my frustration, opening other account who have much reputation at all. This is my reason to delete all, might I will delete my stackoverflow also if I find this issue persist
@Williams I'm still not sure what issue you're seeing. Can you walk me through what happens when you sign in?
When I sign in to my account [stackoverflow] then it opens my account but after sometime when I go to metastackoverflow and stackexchange then it open the account of someone else, that I can misuse of it but I am not and dont want to do so
06:12
@Williams Wow. That really shouldn't be happening. Are you on a shared computer or are you the only person using the machine you sign in from?
I am only the person, nobody shared
If this happens bug might other can access my account also without sign in etc
I see you have marked my account for deletion, but you left this stackexchange.com/users/2268477/williams , please delete this also but not stackoverflow
@Williams Hrm. I don't see any unauthorized accesses on your account (or at least, no accesses from unusual IPs). I've also never heard of what you're describing happening outside of our dev tier where it's sort of expected and it's now locked down to employees only. If you have the profile links to the accounts you signed into when visiting meta, that'd be helpful. In the meantime, I removed your stackexchange.com profile as well (note that it's not delayed by 24 hours, so that deletion was immediate).
@AnnaLear I see on my stackexchange, there is nothing like that "This account is scheduled to be deleted in 23 hours. To cancel deletion, click here.

IMPORTANT: If you've requested deletion on other Stack Exchange sites, you'll need to cancel those separately by visiting each site's profile." https://stackexchange.com/users/2268477/williams
How can I know that you have marked my stackexchange to delete it ?
It's not marked for deletion like other site profiles. It's already deleted.
let me check
yes deleted
OMG
again I am going to stackexchange
then same other someone else account is being logged
06:18
can you send me the link to the profile you signed into?
ofcouse no
*ofcourse
because you might will do against of him
don't want to do anything
I dont want to keep my membership here after some days If I see this
that is buggy system
I'm a developer at Stack Exchange. The only thing I want to do is figure out what's happening with your account. You should not be able to log in to someone else's profile.
but that is happening
that made me frustrated
I understand that.
I don't see anything immediately unusual on our end. So... whose profile are you signing into?
Help me out here :)
let it do again
I did not paste that profile link
I see his/her reputation was more than 9000 that I got freely and can do wow anything. but I can understand how users gain reputation here , spend lot of time then I don't want to do this
06:26
Hrm. That's really really odd. I do appreciate that you aren't taking advantage of that, though!
now that is not happening
but it happens with me randomly
can't you tell me why this so ?
I really can't. The best theory I have is that you had a shared computer and someone else logged in from it earlier. But you're saying that you're the only person using that machine, so I got no more immediate ideas.
I'll have to investigate further.
It's 2:30 am here right now, though, so I have to get some sleep. If this happens again, could you email me the profile link at [email protected]?
but if he logged earlier and it is sure that he/she has log out that why it is not happening with me always
What can you do in this, will you delete my account and his/her account also ?
Because we use OpenID, when you log out of our sites, if you want to log out fully you also have to log out of your OpenID provider. So, if you sign in with Google and log out of SE, you should also log out of Google.
I'm not going to delete any accounts. I first want to figure out what's happening here and why.
If there's a bug in our code, we need to fix it.
so to logout from StackOverflow , suppose I am using Google, then do I need to logout gmail also ?
06:32
correct
If you're using a shared computer, I suggest logging into Stack Overflow from an incognito/private browser profile.
but it is of course his/her account is logout from google also from this machine
It might not be. But again, I'm not sure that this is the cause here. This is just my best guess.
Okay my account will be deleted from meta
so I can't talk you more here
this is all because of my frustration
You can always reach me by email. Or cancel your account deletion :)
I'm sorry to hear you've been running into these issues.
They're really not supposed to happen and I've never heard of this happening to anyone else.
OK I will try to contact with email lets see but If again someone can misuse other accounts
like Right now I have only 600 repuation
and that guy have more than 9000
I can not imagine this big system behaves like buggy
critical problem
06:36
Yeah, that's a concern. If there's a bug in our code, it's a major problem and we need to fix it.
can't you see in your code
That's why I need to know which profiles you're getting signed into, so I can see where the problem is.
yes I will share link once I get same
As far as I know, our code is correct. We don't randomly sign people in :) I'm gonna have to dig through the access logs here once I know where you end up.
yes please do now,
might I wont be able to talk you here
please
06:38
Anyway, it's really time for me to sleep. Email me the profile once you have it, and I'll investigate further.
See ya
Can't you investigate without profile link, because I dont have right now
bye , please review the system again
