I wanted to delete my old oppo id account, and to do that I’ll need to login into it, but I don’t know the password.

Password reset requires saying when the account was created (month and year) and “tech support” can’t help here either.

Is it legal to block / hide account deletion behind login in European countries? GDPR (and polish RODO) both talk about a right to data deletion, which in this case, I believe, isn’t respected.

    saying when the account was created (month and year)

    This is an absurd requirement, but do you have a ballpark idea, and does it let you continue to guess multiple times? Submit a few dozen password reset requests and if they complain, tell them to verify you via alternate means.

      It allows 3 guesses, but I don’t know how often they reset. I’m pretty sure the account was created after September 2019, but that’s still a lot of possibilities.
