> Usually you just need to change the domain on the GitHub side.

Ah, bummer. What if the application has already been removed? Looks like I can at least hit the “Forgot password” and make a new password, assuming that’s because of this:

But I can’t hit the login with GitHub anymore as it’s still giving me the error.

> We do mention this in the howto on changing your domain name

Found it. Linking to it for reference.
