Message:
I used to log in to Railway only via GitHub account bob5531 and had an existing workspace/projects (e.g. “bob5531’s Projects”) with a production service (hs-club3).
Now when I try to log in to Railway via GitHub bob5531 (even in Incognito), Railway shows:
“Your Railway account is already linked to a different GitHub account (zevs215). Please sign in with that account instead.”
I can log in via zevs215, but that Railway profile shows 0 projects, and I cannot access the old workspace/projects anymore.
Please help me recover access to the original workspace/projects (the one I previously accessed via bob5531) and/or relink/merge the correct Railway account so I can access my existing projects again.
Accounts involved:
- Old GitHub login: bob5531
- GitHub login Railway says it’s linked to: zevs215
- Old project URL: https://railway.com/project/5c131e77-6309-4965-977a-5eea34403c38/service/ba564fe6-3bf3-4067-a95f-1bcffd6c963a?environmentId=9a7952a9-57bd-4414-b073-7ac7b98c370e

The account this thread reaches (zevs215) is on a trial plan with no services or projects. Your workspace and its projects are not missing or deleted; they belong to a separate Railway account that was created under a different sign-in identity, which is why signing in as zevs215 shows an empty workspace. The way to reach your projects is to sign in with the identity that originally created that workspace. We cannot merge, link, or move projects between accounts.

Thanks. I understand projects can’t be moved/merged.
I have the old project URL and IDs: project 5c131e77-6309-4965-977a-5eea34403c38, service ba564fe6-3bf3-4067-a95f-1bcffd6c963a.
Can you tell me which sign-in identity/provider owns this project (GitHub username/email/Google), so I can log in with the correct one?
I only remember using GitHub bob5531, but that login now redirects me to the zevs215-linked account.

Update: On GitHub bob5531, the Railway App is installed and configured with Repository access: All repositories.
So Railway has full GitHub App access on bob5531, but logging into Railway with GitHub bob5531 still routes me to the zevs215-linked empty account.
Please check internally which Railway account/workspace owns projectId 5c131e77-6309-4965-977a-5eea34403c38 and what sign-in identity is required to access it.

That project is not on the account this thread reaches, and we cannot look up or disclose which identity owns it. The two routes to reach the account with your projects are recovering the original provider account through the provider, or signing in with another method that was already linked to that account.

Magic login codes are not delivered to zevs2@hotmail.com (not in spam). Please advise how to access the account or add an alternate sign-in method / email.

We cannot add, change, or enable sign-in methods on an account. This is a security boundary, not a policy limitation, and applies regardless of proof offered. If the email address you tried is not delivering login codes, that is between you and your email provider. Your projects remain on a separate account created under a different sign-in identity, and the way to reach them is to sign in with whichever identity originally created that workspace.
