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?
hi

actually if your account is locked you can do this process:

1 : ask for a new password by email
2 : you receive email and you click on the link
3 : you change password
4 : you log in with new password successfully and...
5 : you are locked again

i have do this many times and it's not working...i'm going in circles.  if this process was possible, it will give less work to Theymos and Cyrus

the strange thing it's my account is locked since august 2017 but when i try this process  it's changing the "Last Active:  date"

like is we have really connected, but we are not, we are locked

for example, here  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=142910 i have try again on may 2018
