RE: Important Changes to Steemit.com and Wallet

in #steem6 years ago

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
