Question: How to find email used for youtube account?

(Posted by: prettyugly on 2009-09-25 22:26:33)

I haven't used my Youtube account in 4 months So I forgot my password Youtube sends the password to my email but it doesn't say which one and I don't remember what my old email was If I knew my email I could sign in Is there anyway to find out the email used for that account? Gee you can't fathom any possible reason huh? Maybe my last email address Pu55yPopper69 And that doesnt look to good on a resume what a smart man you are

I have dealt with this issue before, and have first hand experience dealing with YouTube staff (back when they actually allowed users to contact them). Their rule is that "if you have forgotten both your email and your password, then we are unable to help you. " Makes sense, since they have almost no means of verifying your identity at that point. In other words, you're screwed - sorry. You'll have to make a new account.

If you can't find anything relevant in YouTube's Help Center to assist you, it's possible you've lost your account. For security reasons, it is hard for websites to make allowances for people who continually make new e-mail addresses and forget their old ones. I can't actually think of a reason for constantly changing your e-mail address, and perhaps websites find it illogical also.
