Lost username

[ahueroclayton]

I can’t remember the username for my primary account. I have access to the email and have put in a support ticket with no answer. I haven’t used it in only a couple months but I guess the username I thought it was didn’t save so I can’t even send myself the password recovery email

Click on "Didn't get activation code." You can use your email to get your account info that way, I think.

I tried that but it won’t let me because I’ve already activated my account. I thought maybe my account used a different email but when I tried making a new one with the same email it wouldn’t let me because it was already in use

Thought: Literotica has a Member search. Could a search maybe find your actual username, which might be only slightly off from what you remember it being?

I’ll try that, but I wish there was an easier way to get this solved lol. I wish I could just use my email to recover it

Can appreciate this is frustrating but it's really a security feature. If the site responded to email addresses then someone else could enter yours and find out if you have an account here. Not a problem if it's a secret email that no one knows about, but some people do log in with an identifiable address. That could lead to awkward questions and secrets users might not want exposed in their real life.

The author search feature is more powerful than the one in the forum so you might want to look for your account there. If you remember any other information you entered in your profile you can add it as a search term. Hit the little gear icon to the right of the name field and it will give you lots of options. You need to enter something in the name field itself for the search to work, but a single letter should be enough. Best of luck finding yourself.
