My question is; what will be my fate if I can't have access to my btt account and then what about my mail I don't have access to. Please let experts update me based on this issues.

It's the same obvious reason having any important account in any website online.
In fact, changing password regularly is one of the most recommended way to secure your online account.

First I have to welcome you back to the forum, I would advise you to develop yourself and calm your heart down to read the latest news around the forum.
Then lastly there's no panic changing your login details, it's free of charge if you wishes to change email and login pin, so you wouldn't have created a post over it rather than just changed it yourself without any stress.

Greetings mates.
I have been inconsistent for awhile now I know have missed lots of update around the forum and concerning the latest happening within the cryptospace. I have thought of changing my password reason being that I am no longer secure with it, I don't know what happened to my browser in my absence for the number of days I wasn't active, usually I don't really give attention to the forum due to family challenges includes wife, children and parents. Also noticed I lost access to my email used in registering my account I have thought of changing it as well but something in me kept saying don't change while my instinct keep telling me to change it, I have tried to recover email happens but that the mobile number I used wasn't there I know the stress involved while trying to retrieve my stolen line so alternatively changing mail will be the best option for me currently. So I thought of posting here to know if i am that free to make any changes or i should continue using it that way without any changes.

My question is; what will be my fate if I can't have access to my btt account and then what about my mail I don't have access to. Please let experts update me based on this issues.

I love you all.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with changing your password if you're still actively using the email you used here on the forum. It's possible that you just forgot the password so you changed it through the email you used here. Because you haven't been active in years or months.

But you can't get rid of others here thinking that you bought or hacked the account. You may be telling the truth, but such things should not be said here in the public forum. But if you can't access your email and password here in the forum, chances are high that your email and bitcointalk account has been hacked. But anyway, if you become active again, welcome back to the crypto space here on this platform.

**In BTC since 2013**

Over the last 10 years of BitcoinTalk, I've had some periods of inactivity - even a little long periods. And when I returned to the forum after those periods, I simply resumed posting and doing my forum interventions as normal. Of course, due to this absence, it is a little more difficult at first, as we are not familiar with other users. But, the forum is a family and everything becomes normal.

Every time I returned to activity, I never had to announce or report that I was doing so, I simply logged in and posted... So your announcement was unnecessary, despite understanding the concerns.

Regarding the question of changing your email/password, it will all depend on how secure you feel with the current ones. Changing the password from time to time is not a bad thing, and we are not obliged to have the same email address for life either. As long as at any point you can prove that you're the same person from day one, that's no problem.

So welcome back and try to stick around! I only regret being away a few times... Roll Eyes

OP isn't going to get tagged by any reputable DT member for simply changing his password and e-mail. There would have to be much more convincing evidence than that, like a change in writing style or a language change and that sort of thing.

If OP wants to prove he's the original owner (which he certainly doesn't have to do), the accepted way to do that is to sign a message from an address he'd previously staked. Other than that I wouldn't worry about community reaction unless the account really did change hands, because I'm sure after announcing a return like this somebody's going to look into it.

Yes that is a good idea of signing a message maybe with that way he will clear all airs but that notwithstanding he can go ahead changing whatever he thinks of doing provide the account didn't change hands.

something most of the members here might gets you tag for either account changed ownership or sold out

Changing password is good but something most of the members here might gets you tag for either account changed ownership or sold out so what you did isn't bad but maybe when next you don't have to make a public announcement.
Just as OgNasty said a topic was raised for him and in your own case it might be more difficult for people to understand because you don't always come online to post.

It probably isn’t the worst idea to make a little comment somewhere before changing your password and changing emails is a pretty good sign an account has been sold or hacked.

I only say to mention changing your password in advance because you never know who is watching and might jump to conclusions. This thread was created last time I updated my password.

I don’t see reason why you have to make it public that you want to change your password/email. You should definitely change your email and password if you have reason to believe they have been compromised. There is no rule that says you can’t change your password or email, but it raises a eyebrow that the account may be bought/hacked. If an accusation ever comes up, you can sign a message from your old bitcoin address to prove account ownership hasn’t changed. You have been here long enough to know this.
