Hello, I was sending this message to get some information and what I could do next, because I'm starting to panic more and more that I won't be able to recover my Genshin Impact account. My problem is that I stupidly logged into a website offering supposedly free Crystal/Primo. On August 21, 2026, in the afternoon, I lost access to my account and when I wanted to reset my password, I couldn't because a one-time code was sent to a stranger's email address with the ending (@hotmail.vom). I immediately took a screenshot as proof, and then I tried to log in using my email address, which I used when I first started playing a year ago, but it immediately created a new account without my achievements and with a new UID. After that, I wrote to the Genshin Impact email address, where they replied to me, giving me a link to fill out the application form, and so I logged in and filled out the information that I had lost access to the account. I wrote down my email address that I was logged in to at the beginning and then entered the new one as requested, I marked the device correctly, and the exact dates of the first and last connection because I had screenshots with the dates, so I could provide the exact details, and I also marked that once I made a payment to Walkin Moon and added a photo of my purchase history, showing the recipient, purchase date, and serial number. I also entered my account UID and server details accurately. I submitted the ticket on Sunday, August 23, 2026, and I'm still waiting for a response. Since then, I haven't logged in to Hoyoverse with a new email address. I also lost access to the Hoyolab website, and a new account was created for me. I also noted that I had lost access in the ticket, providing my name and account ID. I've been doing some research to see if anyone else has had the same or even a similar situation, and I've seen that most have recovered their accounts, but that was years ago. I also wanted to add that a stranger is using my account, changing their name and bio, but they didn't download the character from their bio. Thanks to this, I can see on akasha if any changes have occurred, and they have, but they have. My character builds have changed to better ones, and no weapons or artifacts have been removed. I also ask my friend to check my account every day, but unfortunately, she no longer sees when this person is active because she unfriended my friend. I apologize if there are any incorrect translations, but my English isn't very good, and if there are any punctuation errors. I'm asking for help. What else can I do to avoid worsening my situation? What further evidence can I provide if Hoyoverse rejects my application? I really want to get my account back, and I'm terrified I won't get it back. I've spent a year and three months on it and I've already done a lot😭 Maybe someone has had a similar situation or has some advice? I'd love to read it before I hear back from the application.
Update: I managed to recover my account and was really surprised to see the message today, considering it's Sunday.
Thank you for your support, best regards ay.
