Before I go on, just know this isn't about bot creation, as the title implies.

The unfortunate update is that I am currently, and most likely permanently because Google is ran by fucking dumbasses, locked out of the account I made the AO3 account with due to having to reinstall Windows + apparently forgetting the password for it.

I have already sent a support message to the AO3 team asking if anything can be done, but until then, I'm not sure what to do outside of just making an entirely new account and such. Is it plausible? Sure, but it'll be a helluva hassle and I hate the idea of having to do it. I am posting this here in case anyone has any other ideas.
