Couldn’t remember my password and didn’t have my email address entered to reset. Thought I’d lost this account forever.
After much trial and error finally nailed it this morning and now it’s safely entered into bitwarden.
Welcome back! I hope we don't end up losing regulars because they think the site is dead.
If worst came to worst I’d have just reregistered with a new account. Would have been annoying to curate a new feed though.
Out of interest, as an admin, can you reset user passwords?
There's nothing for admins in the UI, but since I have access to the database itself then probably the easiest way would be to add an email address. The problem is: how would I know you are the same person and not just trying to hijack an account? If there's no email address on the account, I'm not sure if there's any reasonable process to recover it without risking handing accounts to the wrong person.
