-Get help

    It asks for the last password, but it doesn't work. Broken?

I only have this address (I don't have any secondary email), so I never set a recovery email.

My password was relatively strong (and only used for email).

I don't know how I'm going to do it. Possibly I will lose access to some things or have some difficulty migrating everything to a new email address.

All my services (social networks, paypal, and others) are associated with this email.
