It originally used twitter as a login method, which I thought it still had which also did not work.

There's an email associated with that account. Which email address have you been trying?

It's difficult for me to help because we do not store emails in plaintext (we hash them).
That account was created on 2024-02-08 and it does have an email associated with it. I just don't know which email it is.

I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to look at it at all. I was pretty sure it was the theroyalrainbow one. Can you send an email to the account that is on it? I can narrow it down that way.

I don't know the email on the account so I can't send an email to it. We only store the hash of the email for privacy reasons. Hashes are one-way functions - given the email address, we can determine the account it belongs to, but given the account, we don't know which email belongs to it.
Does that make sense? If you want to send me a list of email address you'd like me to check, I can, but that's not much different from you trying to login with them.

Yeah, I understand. I just thought maybe you had a way to send an email that de-hashed on the fly or something. The email I thought it was was theroyalrainbow.com. I KNOW it originally used twitter, and I do not recall shutting it off, but adding the email as a backup to get into it. That's an irony, I suppose.
