(+) Yeah! (+)

Don't remember the password for my old email.

I remember the security question, but then it asks the email address of contacts I've recently sent emails to(Which I don't even think I've sent an email to anyone in a while), which I don't remember. Nor would I remet the exact subject line of emails I've sent.

Without this info, outlook is saying they don't have enough info(despite getting the security question right). I have a whole bunch of shit connected to my old email so without that it seems rather hopeless. =/

Just try the email address of somebody you probably emailed frequently on that account and see if it takes?
---

That's the issue. I sincerely don't remember. @_@

Honestly a lot of the stuff on the first page of probably a bunch of password recovery stuff or steam purchase confirmations.

You used to participate in Rank the Pokemon, right? Ask Steiner for his email and try it out. Or any other B8er you had to send something through email to participate in.

---

I don't remember if I did, but I do vaguely recall contacting a B8er once. Hopefully that will help....

It's just so frustrating being locked out despite knowing the security question. Uggh, and one of the accounts were made way before you could have the option of adding your phone number to the account (That might be less of an 'option' these days)

Doesn't help you now, but I know the struggle of places storing your passwords for so long that you forget them when you actually need it. I'd recommend keeping some of your passwords in some offline location (on an electronic device, and/or physical), but make sure it's not obvious that it's a password. Like just put them in the middle of a bunch of text that literally no one will read. Like have a bunch of movie reviews saved, and just hide your passwords in the middle of a War Horse review.

yeah, i had a hotmail account when i was 8 or something, my first email address.

made up a fake name, birthday, physical address, etc

decade and a half down the road, i forgot a different email's password. okay, i'll send an email confirmation to my backup email address... forgot the password to that one, too.

i forgot every password, daisy chaining all the way back to that old hotmail account, and i couldn't remember my supposed birth date or address. at least I remembered that my name was Butts.

all of those emails are gone to me now. it's pretty bad

I now keep all of my emails, accounts, and passwords on a notebook
