Re: Use reset password link via email

Worse than that, at some point I've simply been kicked out of my former low-value use-for-everything mail account, without even being told why! I filed an automated complaint (using a brand-new low-value mail account I had to create just so they can reply somewhere) to which the reply was that the account stays locked, with no further explanation. Luckily, I had zero nuclear launch codes handy, else there might be a very neat crater in the place of a former datacenter somewhere by now. Anyway, if I was accessing things by the proposed always-reset method, I would have been locked out of every single low-value account I had (which is 99% of all my accounts)!
