Oh it becomes a rabbit hole :-)

The email is attached and always has been to my personal Facebook account. But it's also now attached to not-mine instagram account. And because two are kind of independent but kind of integrated, it generates a lot of weirdness I'd like to remove by having my own properly owned and integrated and tagged Facebook and instagram accounts.

It'd take 12 seconds for a human being to figure out but of course that's not an option.






What happens when you submit a password reset? If they're using your account does this not get sent to you?

I understand it might be a bit hostile but it seems there should be some means to transfer the account. I'd try contacting them first, but if they're non responsive or the account is abandoned then do a take over. They impersonated you anyways. If necessary delete the account and recreate after the cooldown period


why not just create a new email alias you use in both
