This regards steam accounts & your email address. If you don't use Steam to sign in, and your forum email address is one you can still access, you're OK.
Please read this ENTIRE POST before emailing me asking me to change your email because you can do it your fucking self if you remember the password. The only people who need me to help them are people who lost both their email account and their password. If you are still signed in but have neither, make a new email account, then tell me what that email account is in your TTS thread. If you make a TTS thread / pm me asking me to change your email and you don't tell me what your new email is in your initial message I am going to fucking rape you to death. Fucking morons.

Since Steam logins are being phased out (because they barely fucking work at this point), I'm seeing an uptick of people needing manual account recovery because they're locking themselves out of their account.
We can only do so much if you don't have your recovery email and personally evaluate account recovery through this method. Manual recovery of accounts is a very error prone system and social engineering is a big threat. Sufficiently charismatic people could potentially gain access to another person's account if we permitted this routinely.
Please verify that your current account email is one you can access.
Please verify that you do not use your Steam account to sign in. Assign an email address and password to your account before unlinking it, but do unlink it, immediately.
1. Verify you use an email address you have access to and will be able to access months later.

2. If you use Steam to sign in, assign your account a password.

3. If you use Steam to sign in, do 1 & 2, then remove your Steam account.

It's not convenient having multiple email accounts but I go out of my way to blacklist these fucking 10 minute mail services because they fucking suck and cause all sorts of goddamn administrative issues.
Use an email you will actually check. You will eventually need it to recover your password, and I may eventually need it to send emergency contact to everyone. I've done so in the past twice and it really helps with keeping everyone in the loop if we experience issues.
Gmail guide for sending and receiving mail through another email service. This is very fucking helpful and if you're a tech-dummy who has trouble remembering a bunch of different accounts, I strongly encourage you to set up a Gmail alias to manage the import and sending of mail.
