Hi, apparently I lost an access to my former organization that published my extension
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SaiRev.automate-react-task

I have accesses to both github and personal accounts that might be associated with the extension, but i am not able to claim it.

What should I do, to proceed?

    Hello @SaiRev ,

    Thanks for your question.

    Because this involves account security, I cannot directly transfer the extension to you here. This appears to be a support request for which I recommend contacting VS Marketplace support.

    You can refer to these following steps:

    • Please click the Contact Microsoft button in the top right corner.
    • Give them the link to your GitHub code to show you are the real creator.
    • Ask them if they can transfer the extension to your personal account.

    Note: If they cannot transfer it for security reasons, your only other option is to create a new publisher account and upload the extension again as a brand-new item.

    I hope this addresses your question. If this response was helpful, please consider following the guidance to provide feedback. Thank you.
