<p>Because of this, the account recovery process has to be initiated differently from most sites:</p>
<ol>
<li>If you lose access to your account, you send an email from the associated address, requesting a password reset for that specific username.</li>
<li>If you lose access to your account, send an email from the associated address to <a href="mailto:password@tildes.net">password@tildes.net</a>, requesting a password reset for that specific username.</li>
<li>The sending email address is hashed, and if the result matches the stored hash for that user, a message is sent back (to the same address) that includes a password reset link.</li>
<li>You receive the email, reset your password, and are able to log into the account again.</li>
