RE: How to set an own password, which is not generated by Steemit

in #security6 years ago (edited)

@noisy, you seem to be very knowledgeable about the steem blockchain. I have a quick question that you may be able to answer. @someguy123, created a very nice service which allows users to create STEEM accounts much faster than following the normal process - anon steem network. I know others that have used this service. This site creates the account, gives directions to change the new password via steemit.com and once the user updates to the new password/keys, then the user is instructed to go back to the anon site and click a link to destroy the old password and keys which presumably deletes the old passwords and keys. My question is this, if the original/old passwords/keys were not actually deleted from the server, could @someguy123 actually re-store the account using the old credentials and actually take over the account within the 30 day limit window? He seems to have a very good reputation, so i doubt that is the case but one never knows for sure and wanted to find out if that is a possible risk.
