That's what I'm thinking too. I am, however, really irritated having lost more than 24 hours after being hacked, to recover the account and then the time to "clean up the mess" I created only to get locked out. Because I got locked out, I tried to change my password, but it was too late and I'd completely screwed up. What none of the documentation says is that you must NEVER lose your first password. EVER. I didn't understand that. That said, I have now found that I had saved it somewhere rather than over-writing it.
I have also just checked because on Friday when I inserted my email address to start the recovery process - again - I got this message
So....I am giving it until tomorrow morning, and before I head out for the day, if nothing is happening, I will be in touch with the Steemcleaners AGAIN and email support.
It does say in the FAQ that you can never lose your master password...
I’m still not sure I completely understand what happened to you...
You got hacked
You recovered your account
You cleaned up the mess = edited the comments
But what happened then?
You changed your password, and than it wouldn’t work to log into SteemIt?
And you don’t have a copy of your original password?
That is exactly what happened. I have now found a copy of my original password, but I still don't know why I couldn't get in.
About that FAQ: yes it does, but it doesn't state clearly that regardless of what happens, it's the original password that remains the overriding key - regardless. I had been under the impression, and the Steemcleaners got it when I explained, that the new one generated overrode the first one. It does not. That needs to be made more overt for folk like me, who might misread the FAQs. Anyhow, as I say, I found it back up somewhere. Phew. Now let's see. Still waiting for the email to recover the account. It is very odd. Thanks for asking.
