Do you know any way we can recover our lost accounts on this forum without mail? Please share with us.

I do not know of anyway and I do not think uTalk currently has a medium of recovery for lost or hacked accounts. I could be wrong, but I could find no such option for someone who is logged out of the forum.

A way to recover without mails could be true unique addresses linked to that profile.

I don't think there's a medium like that. They really need to figure out a way to get this thing fixed. I see it as a big issue. The development department should look into it.

Re: No option to connect Utopia p2p account to an email

its not necessary having your account here linked with your Email address its going to be compromising and against the ethics of what Utopia p2p believes.

Re: No option to connect Utopia p2p account to an email

Email is not required when creating the utopia p2p application and I think it's better this way so that the application won't be linked to other social media

Re: No option to connect Utopia p2p account to an email

Well I also value anonymity but I am not actually over critical about less anonymity. Like using email. Honestly I actually set my business email so not defined about me that even if I had to connect my account to it you wouldn’t link it to me.

The development is yet to create a password recovery or forget password scheme on this forum but you guys want them to add it to this forum why don't you create a topic about it in the "Question and help" section of this forum?

Although you might be adamant that the email isn't connected to you in any way, I think you can't continue using it for the foreseeable future without making a mistake that will actually connect the email to you.
This is what I believe the Utopia p2p team doesn't want to happen.

If you notice you'll see that practically every element of the Utopia P2P website and application client does not require an email address, only the public key associated with your uWallet.

That's correct and it is all because the Utopia p2p ecosystem was created to solve the problem of privacy, decentralization, security, and other innovative concepts not to add to it.

It is very possible to keep using an email address without making any mistake that leads it back to you. One can explore options of single use addresses, or throwaway addresses.

But it is understandable that everyone might not be able to manage it sufficiently and could make a mistake at one point or the other which leads to a privacy risk.

Yes, when trying to solve the issue of privacy the use of an email shouldn't be something the user must use. This is something that the Utopia p2p development team understand before the integrated the use of a public key which will also make use of the ecosystem to be for the project enthusiast only.

The use of a throw-away email address can provide the needed privacy that will connect users in any way but you need to understand there is some platform that never accepts throwaway. This reminds me of when I used a throwaway phone number to register a Twitter account, but after 5days the account was blocked.

Hmm. This explains the reason why the Crypton Exchange also requires uWallet public keys so that it will provide more secure privacy and enthusiasm for the Utopia p2p ecosystem.

Re: No option to connect Utopia p2p account to an email

I have heard of so many people who had their email address compromised and it affected them on the services they registered on with the email address. Having an email address connected to you can also affect your privacy, though email addresses help with account recovery on centralized services, but it isn’t important in a decentralized protocol like Utopia, i don’t wish for it to ever be added.

Email addresses can affect ones privacy if they do not handle it properly, but can be a useful feature for communication and also to allow account recoveries.

It could be added as an optional feature where we can chose to toggle it on and off, so those that feel they cannot handle the feature would turn it off.

I believe that many people use Utopia P2P for its privacy and security features. People use Utopia P2P to obscure their online activities. Using a third-party email service or a centralized email provider is not a good thing when it comes to online privacy. No personal data collection is one of its key selling points, and it's a major factor in why people choose to use it.

I can see that you're a new user here but your knowledge about privacy is enormous. Welcome on board.
Thank you for making this enlight post I once talk about the user not needing the use of an email address but some people seem not to like the idea, isn't this the reason why the Utopia dev makes use of PKey

That may have not been the reason that your account was blocked. Twitter is strict with new accounts and could have been you violated another of their policy at the time.

Any platform that is averse to throwaway emails is not privacy conscious then and should be avoided if possible, or you sign up with a random address which does not link back to you and you would not reuse on another platform.

You are totally right about Twitter since the major drawback of centralized social media platforms is their unlawful rules and regulation and ban of user accounts unnecessarily but I don't think is privacy-wise for a privacy focus platform to make use of email even if it's a throwaway email.

The risk using social media can not be over emphasized. I see the social media as an avenue for them to take advantage of their users by stealing some of their private details.

It's all made up already. Just close that sentence, that's all. And you can create private keys in stock.

Well in as much as there is no email linked to the creation of The Utopia application. Every account has their unique public key and they public keep may help in the recovery of the account, but and addiction of an email would be really helpful if you ask me

But I am against this initiative. Creating an email account for those who need it will unlock your anonymity online and that's it. You will get caught. Creating email is the first step where you stop being anonymous.
