I would have expected them to ask me to message them, in order to resolve the issue of not having access to my old email. Instead, they assume that I still have access to it, by simply contacting my email provider!

If I could do that, I wouldn’t have lost access to it through would I?

    My main email said they suspected unusual activity from me. So I need to go to my backup email, and get a code. Simple enough. So I go to my backup email which I never use. I log in, and they say "Looks like it’s been a while, we’re going to send an email to the backup of this account. Well the backup of the backup is the main account. So now I know the passwords for both accounts. But I can’t get into either because both are pointing at the other, so I can’t get into either.

    I legit want an actual hacker to hack my backup and let me in, just so I can get into my main. I’ve had the account since 1997

      This type of thing is why I, against all internet advice, host my own email. It’s a pain but it’s nice being in control.
