We only allow one account per email address. If you want to know what account you made, logout of the site and use the password reset form on the forums and enter your email address. It will tell you the username you've used in that email.

If you want to "free" that email address up again, you should ask for that old account to be closed.

This problem has been caused by the fact you have more than one active account on the site, which is against our ToS. It's nothing to do with hacking.

It wouldn't be difficult if people followed our rules and stuck to one active account! Edited May 3, 2018 by Dark0ne

"Email in use" means you've made another account with the email address you've entered. We only allow one account per email address.

 

If you don't know what account it is you've made, log out and use the password reset form on the forums. It will tell you your username in the email.

The only way you can make an account on the site is by verifying your email address -- so if an account is already using your email address then you, or someone with access to your email address, made that account on Nexus Mods.

 

But why did it "work" yesterday when i wrote my Emailladdress for getting the verfication it didnt said that this Email is in use already and i didnt get any Emails for Verification, i really dont understand whats going on and what the point is of all that is.Did the Thing that sends the Verifications Email just didnt send it or did it got blocked by something i never had any Problems with Nexus Mods Site until now.I dont want to lose my Account after 8years just because of a stupid Bug/Error.

I believe we fixed a bug yesterday with it not recognising duplicate emails. That's potentially why you didn't get this error yesterday.

The point still remains that every user should only have one Nexus Mods account, and all accounts need a unique email address attached to it that no other account already uses.

So i do have to create new email address and change it to the newest one in the settings because the much older one is dead and logging out and asking reset the Password wouldnt work afterall i cant asnwer the Veriication for that Change and Stuff iam sorry i cant explain it well enough English isnt my native language afterall.

It's OK.

If you no longer have access to your old email address that your account is attached to then yes, you need to update your email address to one that works, that you have access to, and that you haven't already used to make another account on Nexus Mods.

Okay then i try this later,how much time do i have left for this?Afterall i want to eat now and play something else to calm me down.And how do i found out if there is a duplicate Account or second Account i may accidently create because i mixed up some things i think something similar happened to me on a different Site too or not and if someone else is using my Email afterall i dont get any Emails related to Nexus Mods or any weird Emails at all so thats why iam confused about this "this Email already in use "thing...
