Hacked e-mail

Postby 1r1d1um » 19 Mar 2016, 19:16

So I finally decided to get back on to FAF after a while, and I'm still having those crash issues. My current issue is my email associated with FAF was hacked almost 3 or so years ago. My general account security is not at stake, but I'm asking if its possible to get my account's email reset so I can change it to my current email.

My in-game name is KleanUpGuy.

I still have access to the lobby via my account, and honestly I doubt anything will ever come of me never getting my e-mail back, but better safe than sorry. Still looking for an admin though.

We do not currently have a mechanism for restoring lost accounts automatically. But if you send me a sha-256 hash of your password in private message I'll verify it against the database and reset your email. (Use e.g. this http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator)
