Could someone please explain to me how Strava can create a new profile from Facebook when I already have one? Years ago when I created my Strava account I logged in via Facebook and have a profile which I have been using successfully for several years. On Sunday evening, I wanted to explore the possibility of subscribing to Strava and disconnected that profile from Facebook in order to create a more secure login via email. No password reset was sent to me so I then logged back into Strava via Facebook and was shocked to find that I now have a new athlete profile attached to my email but with no activities logged. I can still see my original profile as I know my original athlete number and have manually typed it into the web address bar. My Garmin is also still uploading my activities to my original profile but I cannot log into it. How can this happen as Strava insists that an account can only have one email address? I have been trying to contact Strava but have only received an automated reply so far. This isn't really encouraging me to trust Strava with a financial commitment. Very frustrating!

Hi Jane and Scout. I have exchanged a number of messages via Strava support with a helpful colleague of yours called Bryant. The issue was a very minor error on the email of my original account although I have no idea how that could have happened as the original login was via FB and the email there is correct. Until the duplicate is deleted, I am unable to correct this error on my original account although Bryant has helped me to create a log in on it so I am now able to fully access it and continue uploading my activities which is a great relief. Bryant requested deletion of the duplicate account on 30 Jan but I can see it is still on the system. How long should it take for the account to be deleted? Many thanks
