Wasn't Theymos working on a system that would allow us to regain control of our account by email? Something similar to the possibility to lock our account when the email and password were changed. Wasn't it supposed to be added very soon?
AFAIK he did mention something of sort (bit too lazy to actually search for the specific post). It has been a while though so I wouldn't hold my breath on it coming out any time soon.
Did Theymos pre-announce any of his previous projects, like Merit?
We have no idea what he is working on or what he might announce tomorrow.
My memory's spotty, but he might've for some features (especially if they affect moderation), however, for most stuff, we usually find out as soon as the rest of the forum does. So if there's gonna be an automated account recovery feature, I'll probably find out as soon as everyone else.
