# Vercel team shows duplicate members for same email causing GitHub deployment failures

## Problem
My Vercel team shows 2 members, but both are me:

- My email login
- My `GitHub` account

Both have the same email address.

## Current Behavior
This is causing deployment failures. `GitHub` pushes are blocked with the following error:

> **Error: "not a member of this team"**

I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting the `GitHub` integration but the issue persists.

## Questions
1. Can I somehow merge these two identities so my `GitHub` account is recognized as the owner?
2. When trying to upgrade, I shouldn’t be charged $20 for my own `GitHub` account as a second member.

This used to work fine for a long time, until today.

Best

Unfortunately, there’s no built-in way to merge these two identities.

Could you *just* use your GitHub account?

* Remove the email-based member from your team
* Ensure you’re logged in via GitHub (click "Continue with GitHub")
* Re-add yourself to the team while logged in with GitHub
* This ensures deployments work properly with GitHub pushes
