Well, I no longer have access to that email, have not for 5 years now.  So how do I change my alternate email address?

Everything I try to add to the account for verification purposes (a phone number, another email) well they all have to be approved by an email account that no longer exists.

If this has to do with hacking, then just say so.  I can move to another provider...  Since hacking is why I want to change all of this information anyway.

(IE: Your measures are just affecting the good members, at least from my perspective.)

All well, let me know what's up.  I can easily move over to G-mail or something more user friendly...

PS: You guys aren't hacking me to get me to upgrade to your pay-for e-mail?  Like I would pay for this type of service (HA!)
