I've forgotten my password and registered with an email address that no longer exists. I can log in to my account with the authentication code and get to the 'Credentials' page where it is possible to change the email and/or password. The problem is that it requires the old, forgotten password to save the change: Catch-22. Requesting a 'reset password' link via email would, of course, go to the nonexistent email. Is there a workaround?
