There are lots of ways to at least get a similar name like your old account such as adding number and others.
Please accept the fact that this is not all about because of the name its because of the merit why member's want's to recover their old accounts.
I do not agree with you. We do things in past which has our emotions attached. An account holders might have his emotions for an account.
Ofc it is. If you use a strong password and never get phished or infected with a malware, it should be impossible to lose your account. I use a 20+ char password generated with KeePass and keep my OS secured. Never had any issue.
# I use 16+ character on my password combined with possibly everything
# Only me use my PC when I am away my windows is locked
# My connection is fairly secure
# I am well aware of phishing links and stuffs
# I keep my computer clean always.
# The associate email account also have 16+ character password.
# The email account is encrypted with fairly security.
# The email account hosted on the server is also has 16+ character password
# The server has 2FA active
# The server has bought from a highly reputed hosting service provider who are domination the hosting industry.
# All these 16+ character passwords are very different from each others.
# I save my passwords with PGP encryption.
But all these can not guarantee me that any accident will not happen. Anything can happen which you are not aware of and your account can get hacked. Would you blame yourself for it and will wait months long if not years to recover it?
you are right, it's exact what i would like to say. if i can give merit, i will add for you. srr
