Not a true greentext but I hope I have captured the spirit of it. (First time I wrote smth like this, don’t be harsh on me. >w<)

    why is life like this?

    Because the whole thing started with anon forgeting their password, the solution for which should be complicated and secure, which it is.

      I locked myself out of my main email account once.
      I had set it up in the year 2000, when people didn’t have mobile phones, so they sent a letter to your home address before they activated it.
      In the meantime, I had moved 11 times, updated my personal info on the site a few times, but never added a phone number or recovery mail address.

      So when I called the hotline and they asked me for my address to confirm I’m me, that was a hard one to answer. But I actually got it right in the second try, which was good enough.
