RE: Dummies Guide to Basic Steemit Account Security + Account Recovery Guide! Must Read For Steemit Users!

in #steemit7 years ago

@firepower, thanks for your blog. Since last few days I was running around to find the private key to active key. Once I pressed the login to find button, I got lost as I did not have any key. I had sent this query to many here in my comments to their blogs. None replied. Sometimes I guess not many read their blog comments and even if they did, they don't have time to respond. I perfectly understand their situation. But I remained perplexed not knowing what to do and how to proceed.
Now I know how to obtain the private key for active key. Thank you.

Now another query. How do I get my owner private key. There is only a public key there and no button. Please let me know how to get the private key for owners key.

I think this post is a very very important one which comprehensively explains the permissions tab in detail and addresses all the security concerns for us, newbies.

Thanks again for your excellent post. Amazing as always. 😊👌

Your password that you have when you created your account is the master/owner key. You change that from the password tab and use permissions tab to generate posting/active private keys.

Please keep your current master/owner key safely and only use your posting key.
