You will have to manually enter your password (or copy/paste) just as you did the first time you entered the steemit website. Then your browser will give you the option to save your password for the steemitwallet.com site, which you then can do for future use.

Let me know if you have any further questions. You can find me on discord, telegram etc with the same name.

@llfarms If I may ask? I have just gone into the wallet and logged in with my posting key. But there is no "Redeem" tag showing anymore?
What's next to do?
Regards!

Hey @papilloncharity! By "redeem" do you mean to claim your payout rewards? If so, you will still only need to be signed in with your posting key to do so. I just tested it to be sure. It might just be that you don't have any unclaimed currently. I see you have a post closing later today, possibly check back then?

Thank you so much for your kind help and I have managed to sort it out with the proper key. I tested the "redeem" and it worked fine!
Blessings!

I only have my wallet passwords saved in the password manager and no where else, can I copy it from there? Or am I just completely screwed with no notice!

You should be able to recover them on your side yes, and then I would suggest saving them in multiple places as well as using a password manager plugin possibly.

Ideas for keeping keys -

I don’t know which one you have been signing in with, so I don’t know what is saved in your browser, but once you have them all (Master, Owner, Active, Posting and Memo)

  • Label which is which (and what you need them for)

  • Save them to a pdf (if you enter your master in the Steemit site, a pdf will actually now be offered to you).

  • Print multiple hard copies and keep them in safe locations

  • Save pdf on a thumb drive and keep it safe

  • Use a password manager for daily use. (Ex. LastPass, 1password or keychain.)

Okay thanks for backup ideas but I don't have a clue how to get the passwords out of the browser to reuse :|

I just tried logging out of steemit and copying the ****** form of the password into the wallet login page and it does not work

Ok, let’s talk through this: how do you normally sign into Steemit?

If you have been relying on the browser saving your passwords, what browser is it?

Do you have your keys possibly saved anywhere else?

I figured out how to extract it and found also that chromes password manager is glaringly insecure
