If you want to have safety against lost passwords, you can set a recovery e-mail address via the [https://settings.feministwiki.org/settings.html FeministWiki Account Settings] page.  This e-mail address should '''not''' be your FeministWiki e-mail address (''janedoe''@feministwiki.org), since you need your FeministWiki password to access that one in the first place.  (Chicken and egg problem.)  The recovery e-mail address will be invisible to everyone except the FeministWiki technician.

If it's very important for you to keep your identity private, and if you don't trust the technician or fear data leaks, then you can use an e-mail address that isn't tied to your real identity.  Just make sure that you can always access the e-mail that you use for this purpose, as otherwise you will not be able to reset your password.
