i would just check all my emails.
i create aliases so i have no idea what alias i used is a long time ago.
also a lot of times these systems don't send welcome emails or even
have email addresses that work.

can't it just shoot off an email if the users requests a password?
that's what my pw emailer does. it's not hurting anything. it's not resetting
a pw.  it doesnt have to SHOW the email address to the requester. it can just
send it and disconnect.
