about 80% of accounts here have a fake email address set. People are reluctant to use real email addresses so they can stay anonymous. Only thing people can do is log in and change their password before the hacker can crack it.

Some of those 80% will still have access to the fake/throwaway email accounts, some wont. It takes 5 minutes to setup a spare email account for security / spam and it only needs to be checked 1 a year to make sure it remains active. Anyone that isn't maintaining these accounts in a password manager is irresponsible and deserves to become a newbie again.

no i mean 80% of the emails are invalid, they aren't temporary emails, they are invalid that bounce emails back. Most people just entered sadasdsdfgdfgdfgdfa@gmail.com or similar, the email accounts don't exist. The only authentication the forum has is password/security question, email is no good for us, even satoshi's account has an invalid email though that is likely on purpose.

Why would you need the password or anything else to accounts like sadasdsdfgdfgdfgdfa@gmail.com when you could just create the gmail account yourself and reset the pass? Once you had the list of obviously fake emails you could create any that used real providers.
