Yes... but the problem is the pass is incorrect (forgot). I would like to reset it using my mail. The problem is the mail is not sent or I don't receive the mail. Sandro Munda <munda.sandro@gmail.com> On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 4:08 PM, Evangelos Foutras <evangelos@foutrelis.com> wrote:

No email is sent if the email address is nonexistent. (The website will still instruct you to check your email though, so that the page can't be used to check whether an email is registered.) I checked and there is no account associated with the email: munda.sandro@gmail.com. If you remember your username I can look it up.

Oh shit, it's a really really old mail. When I try to recover my password using gmail, I have: "This account was deleted and is no longer recoverable." :-( Thanks for your answer envangelos.

You could register that email again, can't you? -T.

Yes but not with the seyz username. It's a pity anyway. Thanks

Couldn't you register kuppidon@gmail.com with gmail, and then try using the reset password form? It should cause the password reset email to be sent to the new account - allowing you to use seyz as your username. Of course, I'm assuming you're legit, since this attack vector is also used in cracking attempts in order to enter into old accounts - which can allow for social privilege escalation. HTH, Gesh

Doesn't that just mean they can't restore the data for that account? In other words, are you implying they keep a blacklist of all accounts registered ever, and block all attempts to register deleted accounts? Please try my solution - can't test it myself since I'm rushing to the bus. Gesh

That would be a security flaw at Google. While I'm sorry for the OP, I actually hope that indeed it is not possible for anyone to revive an email account. Why Google chooses to close down an account is of course another story...

The request seems legitimate but nevertheless I do not think that TUs should divulge user email addresses on the mailing list. It makes it trivial to use social engineering to obtain someone's email address (e.g. an e-stalker may very well know the registered name of a given user). It would be better to send an email to the registered address to confirm identity. If it bounces then the email can be reset or the account deleted/suspended.
