Hmmm, I appreciate the security warning and would like to ask while we're at it - is it possible to add and verify your phone number, so if bad things should happen I could always get my account back using that extra lvl of security?
When recovering an account, our admins look for ways to confirm that it's actually you and not any random person because that would be bad for a multitude of obvious reasons, and one thing that supports this process is stating information that only you can know.
As a result and adding to what UEFI and Munky already said, it is an option to help support confirming that someone is the actual owner of their account if they have at some point in time purchased fg. In doing so, the respective user is essentially able to state who they are (as their personal information is included in this payment info; e.g PayPal or from their bank), when they purchased fg and exactly how much. And that's the kind of information that (usually) only the actual account owner can know.
Hope this helps!
