Talk:Reset lost credentials

This is Ableist BS
Not everyone has a particluarlly good memory... Where do you get off assuming it's an issue with social engineering for literally EVERYONE who has to reset their passwords? Mattwo7 (talk) 08:20, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Why is this (not) policy applied to imported wikis too?
This is not a rant, just a request for clarification. I get why you want to keep user accounts safe, but I don't understand why this also applies to users from imported wikis i.e. users created outside of Miraheze and not corresponding to any user on Miraheze. So many people wanted to get their accounts back and I couldn't even give them a reason for not being able to do so other than "stewards won't allow it". Now those users are gone because most people just don't care for starting all over again after 10+ years, especially when they can prove they're not imposters (by messaging me on Fandom from their original accounts). Also, it's not clear how someone stealing accounts not created on Miraheze could possibly damage the farm, even assuming it's possible, and in my case it's not and I can easily prove it.
