RE: This Is How You Speed Up Your Steemit Account Recovery!

in #steemit7 years ago

raises his hand in guilt

Yeah... I did that! I reset my master password on Saturday because I had posted one of my private keys in a memo to one of the exchanges. Fortunately someone without malicious intent sent me a message suggesting a change my password quick like.

Problem was, as soon as I changed my password, I promptly failed to properly save my password, counting on the browser to do it for me.

It didn't. YIKES! I was locked out!

There's a lengthy post into my panic thereafter, but long story short, I was able to use account recovery and they did me a solid this time. My heart skipped a beat when the email approving my recovery came in on Tuesday morning. Being without my home Steem account for 2 days was tough. I'm an addict!

Passwords are now saved in a fireproof lockbox, and no more private key sharing for me!

Thanks for the reminders firepower! A very timely post (that I could have used last week. haha)
