On: Ask HN: What's to prevent someone from spoofing a website?

Yev from Backblaze here -> Interestingly we thought about this kind of thing. That's partially why we left the link "naked" instead of hyperlinking text and added alternative instructions underneath it for the password reset to give security-minded folks a way to take the action without clicking anything.

Kudos to you for thinking about this stuff!

Goofy question, I also got this email and am trying to go through the process. However no emailed ever make it to my inbox.

Is Blackblaze getting flooded with these requests? I'm also a bit confused at the decision here. :)

Basically yes, so they are a bit slow to send. We reset quite a few passwords so the system is overloaded a bit. More details from our CISO on our subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/backblaze/comments/1j67bte/comment/....
