The email at the root of my identity is tied to a country code domain in my country. There are robust legal processes for enforcing my status as the registrant and regaining control of it. Once I have access to that, I can use that to gain access to everything downstream.

Is it fast? No, but that's a feature.

But it does mean I get to lean on the existing processes and identity verification already part of the government bureaucracy and the courts as my backdoor.
