Confusion about account segregation

Essentially, I'm confused as to which Arch services and subdomains use different accounts. I tried creating an account on the forums after creating a Wiki account, an AUR account, and a GitLab account, but it said I was already registered (I never registered on the forums before). I reset my password, and now I don't know which service has a new passwords associated with it until I try to log into all of them. Which services are grouped up by account cross-compatibility? Is this spelled out somewhere I may have missed?

Re: Confusion about account segregation

They're all separate - if you reset the forum password you'll not have changed the wiki or gitlab password.
What account did you try to create? Did you actually receive a mail for the pw reset?
(In doubt, your desired account name was taken but you're registered here since July w/ the account you're currently using - please don't just try to register multiple accounts, you'll get banned for socket puppetry)

Re: Confusion about account segregation

I must have created this account long before and simply not registered it with my password manager then, sorry. I had requested a password reset to access this account.
