Hi James, I'm one of the PAUSE admins.
I've just unlocked your account, so you should be able to log in again. Last year someone tried to brute-force random PAUSE accounts, so we locked long-inactive accounts. Please make sure that you've set a strong password on your PAUSE account. If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it on this page: https://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=mailpw Cheers, Neil On 28 Jun 2025 at 06:12 +0100, James Clark <james.n...@gmail.com>, wrote: > > Hello! > > Admittedly, I registered my PAUSE account 'NEKO' many years ago - probably > over a decade - with the best of intentions of uploading some distributions, > and have not touched it since. > I recently made something I'd like to share on CPAN, but I find I can't log > in: > > User 'NEKO' set to nologin.
