Well, I was similar. I had bought some bts on poloniex first, but that was where they lay.
Then I got some whalestake or some coin on bts, from a contest, I had to open up a 'bts account'. This was on opendex. Then I could trade those coins for steem upvotes from fuzzysomebody.
I thought it was fine, so I moved my bts to that wallet as well. Later, I formatted my computer. That was when I realized, there was more to it than 'don't lose your password'.
Let me ask this - where are your bts? Where do you go to 'see them'?
I have an icon in my start menu - I click that and the site shows up. I do not know where it "really" is.
I have an account name and a login number saved elsewhere. I had to login again one day when my computer crashed and it went fine. Normally, I am already logged in.
Did you get set up with a tutorial? Send me a link because it sounds like I need to learn!
I do not remember how it did it! I was supposed to delegate the coins or something like that to get income from them. I never got that far. @blind-spot was who helped me. Maybe he can help you :)
