Yes, I should have just changed my email address ( obviously, its another account ) but this just happened me to but I did the "lock out".
How long does it typically take ? I contacted theymos about it.
If you lock out your account, this method won't work. My account was in the possession of the hackers for the last 3 weeks, fortunately he didn't change the yopmail that's why I was lucky.
As for how long? Nobody knows, but looking at some old post, might take 6 months to a year.
Initially, I didn't want to share this steps because I don't want the hackers to know it and hope that others can "discover" the method how to outsmart the hacker. Hahahaha. However, since Swenna has spill the beans (for sure the intention is good), maybe it can help others recover back their account (don't immediately lock it).
