Description
Similar to #852, I noticed that most of my favorites were not showing on my author page (there should be a lot). I went to edit my profile today and Metacpan asked me to verify my PAUSE account, which is strange because I've already done that. Anyway, once I verified it I revisited a module I had just favorited, and the vote button was yellow again instead of blue. So I voted again, and now it shows up in my profile, and I've voted for the distribution twice. But whose account was the first vote associated with? The distribution I voted for twice was Test::LectroTest.
Also if someone happens to have database access, it would be great if they could merge my account favorites with those of the account that +1'd Test::LectroTest right before my account did. There might be a pattern that can be used to merge others' favorites, too, if this problem happens to be common.

I think this is https://metacpan.org/about/faq ( Do you have multiple accounts? ) - please try that and comment on this ticket (for us to reopen) if that does not solve this issue.

That is how my account was split- Google profile with one and something else with the other. So I disconnected Google from the one and connected it to the other one. Then I stupidly closed out of the Google-linked one so now I can't look at it. But my favorites haven't been merged, and Test::LectroTest still has both of the +1's that I gave it, I guess meaning that both accounts still exist even though one of them now has no possible way to log into it. Is there any way to merge both accounts?

There is no way to merge an account presently.
I've add a wish list ( https://github.com/CPAN-API/cpan-api/wiki/Wishlist/3ce5d151eeed7e53f9c906c592577a2395ded959 ) to be able to delete an account (and it's favs)

Thanks. I added an item for merging accounts (since I'd want to merge and then delete the old one).
