This isn’t the workflow I see when trying the password reset process on an old account that I’ve recently tried to recover. I’ve forgotten both the password and the email address associated with the account, but I know the domain I would have used, and I own it so I could easily prove ownership of the email address if I knew what it was.

But when I click Forgot Password, it asks me for my username and also the email address before I can continue.

How do you get the email address hint like the article shows?



I am also not seeing the behaviour that the OP describes.
