Request to update GitHub Username in Streamlit Cloud account DB

Hi Streamlit Team,

​I recently changed my GitHub username, but my Streamlit Cloud profile/workspace is still displaying my old username even after revoking OAuth and re-authenticating.

​Could you please update my profile information or sync my account with my new GitHub username?

​Thank you!

Welcome to the Streamlit community, and thanks for sharing your details so clearly! :tada: This is a known limitation: when you change your GitHub username, Streamlit Community Cloud may not automatically update your displayed username or profile mapping. Even after revoking OAuth and re-authenticating, your public profile and “Created by” badges can still show the old username because Streamlit identifies apps and profiles by the original GitHub coordinates. Logging out/in or clearing cache usually won’t fix this.

To resolve this, a Streamlit staff member needs to manually update your username in their backend database. You’ve already provided the necessary details (old/new GitHub usernames and email), which is perfect. For reference, this process and its limitations are discussed in the official docs and forum threads—community members have had success after staff intervention. If you haven’t already, you can also open a support ticket or reply to this thread for staff to pick up your request. Community members, feel free to jump in if you’ve had similar experiences or tips!
