hi!
so i'm trying to get in contact with an old forum (not this one) friend. it's been about 10 years... i've sent an email to the hotmail address they had but they haven't replied.

i snooped a bit and clicked on 'forgotten password' and can see they have account recovery set up to a gmail account but obviously i can't see the full address.
any tips for figuring it out? i'm desperately trying to contact this person otherwise i'd just let it go.

thanks in advance!!!!

Hey, that gmail account is partially covered with "***"? If you really want to contact this person, try "generating" the rest of the gmail account? 
(my*****@ gmail.com => myemail@gmail.com; you get the idea)

Even though it's like an overkill, that's what I would do.

yeah it's covered by ****. i've tried that, but i don't know if the number of asterisks' is exactly the number of characters missing? i was hoping there would be an easy enough trick to uncovering it but wishful thinking i guess.
i'll keep searching another way.
thank you!
