I've lost access to my alt accounts, Albin3825 as well as DustifiedGD. This is because NG has started requiring two-factor authentication, but the emails associated with both accounts are LONG gone and I have no way to truly access them anymore. This is a sad day for humanity. If anyone has a way to bypass that email requirement for sign-in, let me know.
Edit: Tom just went and updated my emails on my alts! The issue has been resolved and I didn’t even contact him yet.
Email support@newgrounds.com; if you can somehow prove that you are the original owner of those accounts then you should be able to log in (temporarily) to them
Not sure how I’d prove to them that I’m the owner, but I can give them username and password which should be enough
If the accounts were deleted (like Yahoo does to inactive addresses), you could always see if the service provider allows username recycling - more often they won't as a security measure. Otherwise try what phenorax said and contact the mods.
Thanks for your help! Tom just went and did it unprompted.
I know how that feels, it actually happened to me except that it was my main and the email service now required me to give them the certain info which I refused to do so.
I'll tell you what I did in this situation,
I made an alternate account, I then pmed tom fulp about it, and ta-da! I got my main account back.
so, like others has said, I advise you that you should pm tom fulp about your alt accounts.
and don't worry about somehow not able to prove yourself, I'm sure he can check your IP address, plus, the fact that you said you could give them the password kinda sounds good enough.

2fa is the devil's auth.
For real! I don’t really know why every company on earth decided to switch to it these past 5 years. It’s more often a hindrance than an asset.
@50Steaks d'oh yeah I forgot that you could just provide the login information lol. That should be enough.
Edit: good to know you got your accounts back!
@50Steaks Everything resolved then?
Yup! Fulp’s the goat
God bless Fulp. You beautiful man
Truly the ?
phenorax
Maybe find a way to prove to the mods or Fulp that the accounts are yours?
