Unable to launch the game because of Ubisoft Connect

[zeker]

Somehow Ubisoft Connect linked my Steam purchase to an old Ubisoft account. However, I can't login to that account because apparently my password is old and needs to change. In order to that I have to login the e-mail I used for said Ubisoft account. However, I can't login to my e-mail I used for creating Ubisoft account because I can't remember the password for it and google gave me no recovery options.

"No Ubisoft Connect required" my ***.

Edit: Ubisoft support resolved my issue.

Ubisoft lied to gamers with straight face? Tell us something new

Hi zeker! I'm sorry to hear you experienced issues launching the game due to issues with Ubisoft Connect. I'm afraid that it’s not possible to play Ubisoft games without the Ubisoft Connect launcher open, as it's required to verify your game and account before you can start playing, and for licensing purposes. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. It's great to hear that Ubisoft support was able to resolve your issue though. If you encounter any further problems or have additional feedback, please don't hesitate to let us know!
