Just discovered the issue - my GitHub account used `+dev` suffix in primary
email until a few weeks back. I updated the primary email to not use this
suffix. Since this email is listed as secondary in my PostgreSQL account, I
couldn't login from any tool (GitHub or Google). Password reset didn't work
either. Is it possible that my primary email gets updated to my secondary
email address? This should fix the problem. The other option is that I
revert my GitHub account's primary email back to `+dev` suffix but I'm
migrating away from it so I'd rather avoid it.

Best,
Aryan Sharma
