Because of the number of existing Ubuntu users who have created accounts
in Launchpad for the purpose of logging into other sites, we have set
both services to share account data during the transition. Launchpad is
in the process of enabling users to log in with an Ubuntu account and,
once completed, this sharing will be removed. This does mean that you
will be able to log into this service and Launchpad with the same
credentials for a while. We realise this is something internet users
have been encouraged to not do but it is a necessary side-effect of the
transition. Doing this ensures you won't lose access to services you've
purchased from us in the past or your account histories in the sites
you've previously visited, as long as you use your existing Launchpad
credentials on this site.
