Oh, and also, I use my own domain on top of having a backup of my emails.
What this means is that if all recovery options are not working and I'm actually locked out, I can fix it.
I own the domain, I own my past emails, I can still get emails. Maybe I'll lose some emails for a day, but that's it. If I want to prove my identity to FastMail, I can also prove that I own the domain.
But the point is, getting locked out of something as important as email is not gonna happen due to my screw-up. It's more likely for a support loophole to screw me over.
