Is there a way to retrieve my scratch account without an e-mail adress?

premib

As the title says, I've been trying to get my account back for some time just guessing passwords because I'm 100% sure I either didn't put a real e-mail there or I forgot it already. IS there any way I can reset my password or anything?

Do you have the username of the account?

I could be wrong, but try using Contact Us to ask why you can't log into your account. You don't know, maybe it could be hacked.

First, you sign out and click “need help”

Then, type your username there. Next, it'll send you a password reset message to the email of the username.

sorry for jumping into the convo
the op said that the email connected to the account was either fake or they forgot the email, so if an email was sent then they wouldn’t be able to access it.
they want to know if there’s a way to recover a password without using the email associated to the account.
sorry if that sounds rude

you could try and use contact us: tell the st the username of the account you want to retrieve and tell the st to reply to you on an email that you can access. if your account that you’re using now is connected to a different email to the account you want to retrieve then ask the st to verify that you are the owner of that account by checking the IPs of both accounts (they might do that already idk). then the st should reset your password and then you should be able to access your account. this might not work though as i’ve never actually tried this. but it’s worth a shot.

marsmeIIow-

yes

ask here, and the ST should email you back sometime within a week, they will need to know some details of your account but you can get it back!

In account settings you can view the email linked with your account, as viewed here

(I hope my email was censored enough… I actually forgot that I had used this email when making the account, it’s not even used anymore. Huh)

Though this won’t help you since you don’t have access to the account, but this could help other people.

Bit of a necropost but I’m not sure if OP has gotten a proper answer yet, but I actually had a similar experience to this and I’ll explain what the ST did in this situation
I had another account that I forgot the password to, the password I thought it was wasn’t the password and I couldn’t figure it out. I clicked for it to send an email to me to change the password, only to realize that the email used on it was an old email I don’t have access to anymore (from a collaborative project with some friends). I had to contact the ST about it and they asked for me to tell me what the email to that account was (or what I thought it was in this case, I knew it was one of two emails but I didn’t know which one) and a description of some unshared projects on it. Thankfully on that account I actually had a project saying “moved to M1mikyu” which is kind of proof right away that we’re the same person. They then changed the email associated with that account to the email I emailed them with so I can get the password changed with the email I actually use now.
Hope this helps!

Seems to be good enough. Seems to be a .com at the end and I might be able to make out a few more, but it's good enough.

Yeah, I have an old account that I never attached an email to, and just made projects like crazy.
