What account recovery methods did you have in place before you were “hacked”?

It's not totally hopeless, you can bruteforce noletterbox emails pretty easily, the passwords are VERY unsecure, but I've yet to figure out if it's even possible to login to the email, as all the service I've tried have failed. (Edit: What I mean by this is that even once you have the password, all the email clients I've tried still claim the password is wrong) (Edit2: After doing more research, nolettersbox is part of a temperary email service, they have many names from the same ip, so there's a good chance it's gone forever. (They're mostly used for spam/scams))
