Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help.

I believe the command is: certbot unregister But I’m not too familiar with it - I’ve never had to use it.

It should prompt you to choose - but you need to know which one you want to delete. Maybe cerbot certificates will show which account each cert was created with (not sure).

Hi @dchmelik , [image] dchmelik: Well how do I select an account to unregister? Well, before doing anything, backup your /etc/letsencrypt/ dir, just in case: Note: Just a warning, if you proceed to unregister your account, doesn't matter that you recover your files from this backup, the acco…

I would say that you don’t necessarily need to delete the account on the server. You can delete Certbot’s copy of the private key by deleting the associated directory in /etc/letsencrypt/accounts/acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory. Then you won’t be prompted anymore. If you don’t know which acc…

The script looked helpful but I did not need it. As sahsanu said and schoen helped me find, I found out the second account was merely a link, so I deleted it. I’m wondering if I did something to create that, or certbot did it for some reason…

Hi @dchmelik , Since certbot version 0.26.0, it defaults to use acme-api v02 instead of v01 so maybe you had already an account on v02 dir or certbot created it when requesting a new certificate. As certbot found an account on v01 dir too, it created a symbolic link to this account in v02 dir, so se…

So it’ll keep creating the link? Until that is hopefully improved to avoid apparent duplication, can I just rename the v01 to v02?

@dchmelik , as far as I know, yes, it will create the symbolic link again, at least in next upgrade but I'm not 100% sure about this. [image] dchmelik: can I just rename the v01 to v02? Don't do that. Check if you are still using that v01 account in any of your renewal conf files (you can use…

Well the v01 & v02 accounts had the same id. This situation wasn’t described, so I just revoked certificate, did ‘rm -rf,’ started over. I’d probably want to do the same next time things become more cluttered (chains or future accounts.) Certbot is becoming more complicated and doing things a user…
