I think the title says it all. I am kind of worried about this and where can I contact someone so they can fix this problem?

    Just out of curiosity, have you contacted SE about it and did they react already?

Describe to them in detail what you did, and where the security problem is.

(My guess is that you used external authentication like google or openid)...

    Yes, I was not asking you to disclose anything :) I was merely suggesting that there might be mechanisms that work the way they are intended to, and yet let you in without a password.

    Given the litigious climate that we live nowadays I would use a throwaway account to gauge their reaction

    Was it an accident, or were you actively trying to do it? (Not looking for details, just wondering.)
