Can you recover passwords without centralization which Facebook has. Steemit claims of having decentralization which seems to lack password recovery perhaps to some extent by design because the ability for an outside, centralized, force to save, is then also an ability to terminate and censor accounts as well as Facebook and Twitter and YouTube and Reddit and Yahoo and others do as it goes both ways.
Flagging is all about free markets in supply and demand and if people downvote (flag) you, then you can try to find people who will upvote you. Sink or swim in a dog eat dog world.
You can't recover your lost password on steemit.
