I recently lost access to over 10 accounts after changing the primary email address of my GitHub account including DigitalOcean and Replit. I contacted support and they asked for my government ID. I cancelled the connected credit cards so I don’t get charged and have since moved everything off the cloud to local docker containers on my raspberry pi.

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.
