Kind of a rant. Hoyo blocked my SimpleLogin email. I couldn't receive verification codes. Clicking the "Send" button just returned a "Too many requests. Try again later" error. Every. Single. Time.

No matter how long I waited between login attempts, it kept giving the same error. I also tried logging in through my phone and with different IP addresses.

So I opened a ticket but they were unresponsive after giving my Genshin Impact UID. I found an "account retrieval form" in the Hoyoverse account management webpage, filled it up and had my email address changed. I was able to log in now so it looks like they're blocking SimpleLogin email addresses which sucks. Now I'm thinking of changing my email addresses on other accounts that use SimpleLogin.

Anyway, if you use a SimpleLogin email address, you should probably change it, or at least be prepared to have it changed in the future. :/

Those SimpleLogin addresses do really look sus. When you don't use custom domain option, your address looks like autogenerated bot email or temporary disposable email. I guess it will take some time for world to catch up with concepts of email privacy and email aliases. This is the first time I see this thing, and I'm hyped to try it myself!
