Hi,

For about 6 months now I've received messages from lichess in my inbox saying "No email associated with your account. Hello, as you have an early Lichess account, no email was required when you registered. However this makes it easy for you to lose access to your account. If you forget your password, or if your password is leaked from another website, or if we decide that your password is too easy-to-guess to be secure, your account will be lost. Please visit lichess.org/account/email to set your account email address. That way, you'll be able to reset your password when needed."

Now, I go to that link it brings me to the generic account sign-up page, and when I enter my account's user name and my email, it states that my account user name is already in use. I haven't really paid it much attention until now, but because I just got logged out on my PC and cannot log back in I am worried. The only place I am logged in is on my mobile phone now and if I get logged out there I don't want to lose my account forever. Could anyone help me out?

Well, weird that you end up in the signup page

By the mobile phone, you mean the app?
