Description

I recently decided to try keybase again.... I ran into a small problem.

When I went to make an account it showed my username: Hime0698 as taken.

Thinking about it I seem to remember having an account a couple years back for testing, never using it much and abandoning it.

Problem is I am not recieving the reset email, never linked a phone, and have long lost access to the original device/app install.

If the timing I am remembering is right it would have been around 2018/2019 and probably a Google Pixel 2 if that helps.

I am starting to think I may have either used a mail relay service I have since switched off of (AnonAddy) or possibly a burner email altogether.

I dont care to recover anythign that may be in that acount, and I have long since lost the key for it I am sure.....

Am I totally out of luck? Is there anything I can do?
