Or to ask about unauthorized access, or if someone forgets a password, etc.

And it surely does something to deter bots. I dunno.

I don't think it can deter bots. One can create a single gmail account shared by all bots and then when registering do this: myspamaccount+bot1@gmail.com myspamaccount+bot2@gmail.com ...

All those emails will get redirected to the single account myspamaccount@gmail.com
