Recover keybase account with forgotten email. #4061

Open Hime0698 opened 2 years ago

Hime0698 commented 2 years ago

I recently decided to try keybase again.... I ran into a small problem.

When I went to make an account it showed my username: Hime0698 as taken.

Thinking about it I seem to remember having an account a couple years back for testing, never using it much and abandoning it.

Problem is I am not recieving the reset email, never linked a phone, and have long lost access to the original device/app install.

If the timing I am remembering is right it would have been around 2018/2019 and probably a Google Pixel 2 if that helps.

I am starting to think I may have either used a mail relay service I have since switched off of (AnonAddy) or possibly a burner email altogether.

I dont care to recover anythign that may be in that acount, and I have long since lost the key for it I am sure.....

Am I totally out of luck? Is there anything I can do?

Additioinal details if it helps.

If memory serves the account would have been created from an IP in Ruston LA. May show up as somehwhere else in LA as its a small town, or passibly as Louisianna Tech as thats the school in ruston I was attending at the time.
