RE: BEWARE OF PHISHING ACCOUNTS: I LEARNED THE HARD WAY

in #introduceyourself7 years ago

So in case this happens again or if it happens to anyone in the future, you can recover an account within 30 days of the master password being changed by contacting your recovery account holder (use the link here if your recovery account is @steemit)

Just for future reference, if you do something like this again by accident that to be fast. Anyways, glad to see you coming back!

Thank you man. I’ll keep that in mind

What is this recovery account holder? I registered in the usual fashion. And used steeminvite for my friend.

So the recovery account can be used to make a new password on your account and "Challenge Owner" if someone steals your account. In most cases it cannot be used to steal someones account (as someone would need to have the recovery account) and it takes 30 days to change a recovery account.

This isn't very in depth but if you have more specific questions I might be able to help.
