I just noticed this.

Whenever you 'forget a password' to your account on most sites (incl. gameFAQs), they'll just ask for your email and send a password reset to that email.

So basically all you gotta do is enter the hacked email address, go reset the password, and boom you just hacked ANOTHER account. And another...and another...

how the hell do most sites think this is all fine? I dont understand

This is why I have multiple email accounts, not necessarily 1 per website, but 1 throwaway one for crapsites like Gfaqs, Reddit etc.
1 seperate one for my bank and 1 for shopping like Amazon.
