RE: Third Update to July 14th Security Announcement - Account Recovery Begins

in #steemit • 8 years ago

I cannot log in with my other compromised account... I have the private owner key and I know my posting password and owner password... It says the password was not used in the last 30 days, but this is not true. I do not see any old keys in "owner key history". My private key was overridden by the hard fork a few days ago!? Please, what can I do? Thanks!

    @vidanocturna, once the pw is updated across your keys, you can then create new keys on the permissions page of your account

    Thanks Dan, one question, I cannot print out the owner key anymore, and I cannot define different brain keys for each type of key like before. If I change it in the "Change password" option it says that it will change all the keys at once. So not sure if I can save the posting brain key in the browser as it is the same brain key as the owner brain key...
