+ Jan 2023 Downtime & Account Recovery
+
+ In Jan 2023 we had extended downtime, for more information checkout this link.
+
+ The next section will outline the changes that have been made in the last year while the subsequent one will deal with Account Recovery.
+
Service Changes
+
+ As a result of the upgrade/migration/downtime there have been several changes to services.
+
+ Some of these are due to security requirements, others are due to some old software being difficult to source, some are because we have worked with UL Wolves to create a new API to automate many processes.
+
Additions:
+-
+
-
+
+ Account self management page: https://account.skynet.ie +

+ This allows new members to sign up, existing members to change account details (password, contact email, ssh keys), and for password resets. +

skynet_oldfolder in your mail account. +
+
Email Aliases:
+-
+
- + We are currently working on associating aliases with the Skynet account they are for. + +
- + This creates a separate mail account that shares the same password as the base Skynet account. + +
- + If you believe an alias is missing please get in contact with us (Details are below) + +
- + Currently, no new aliases are planned, but this may change in the future. + +
Removals:
