Hello All Dear Steemit Friends,
So as you know that on Steemit our "Master Password" is everything and when we create our new account then on that page it's also clearly mentioned that,
"If you loose your master password then no-one can possibly recover it"
well this is true that if we loose our master password then we cannot possibly recover it but what happens if someone else got our Master Password and hacked our Steemit Account because if we store our Master Password online then their are High chances that a Hacker maybe steal our passwords.
But in this case Steemit has something to helps us as long as we also have our master key because if any hacker hacked our Steemit Account and changed it by generating a new password then in 30 Days of that change we can report this to Steemit and possibly recover our Steemit Account again but we still needs our old master key that we had before the Hacker changed it with a new one.
So according to Steemit F&Q page here is a little details about this topic :-
What do I do if I lost my password/keys?
There is no way to recover your account if you lose your password or owner key! Because your account has real value, it is very important that you save your master password somewhere safe where you will not lose it.
It is strongly recommended that you store an offline copy of your password somewhere safe in case of a hard drive failure or other calamity. Consider digital offline storage, such as an external disk or flash drive, as well as printed paper. Use a safe deposit box for best redundancy.
What should I do if I discover that someone hacked my account?
If you made your account through Steemit and it is compromised, immediately visit the Stolen Account Recovery page. This link is also available in the main site menu. You will need to provide the email address that you used when you signed up, your account name, and a master password that was used in the last 30 days.
So as you can see that it's possible to recover our stolen Steemit Account if someone Hacked it but we still needs our master password for file a recovery request and if that hacker already sent your liquid steem/sbd to any other places then Steemit cannot do anything for that and that's why i always advice you to keep less amount in liquid steem amd use most of the steem for power up your Steempower Because as we all know that withdrawing our Steempower need 13 Weeks time so that is enough time for us to file a complaint about the hack.

This is really informative. I thought we have to complain to someone other but it's Good that Steemit work themselves. Bro how many days they take to recover our stolen account?
It's totally depends on how many requests they already have pending,but in most of the cases it's around 1-2 Week most.
So hacker can withdrawal our Steem also. Will they reset reputation?
I mean Hacker degrade reputation of person after hacking account by spamming. e.g my 48 became 0. Can they recover 0 to 48?
Nop that's not possible and after all most probably hackers are not have to do anything with someone's Reputation because they just want their money.
Reputation ?
Ohh..That's good ...But it's good that not save your password online...Amazing information ...And helpful. Good job bro 👍
Thanks buddy 🤓
