New to Steemit? Be sure and SAVE your PASSWORD or PRIVATE KEY Do NOT lose it!

Where do I find my Password or PRIVATE KEY? Once you are signed into your Steemit account you will see your feed:

My Feed

Then click on your Wallet button on the upper right hand side under Links.

This will bring you to your

Balances Permissions Password page.

Click on Permissions.

You will see your POSTING key next to the QR code on the left. Scroll across to the right where you see SHOW PRIVATE KEY. Click that and it will reveal your PRIVATE POSTING key to the left next to the QR code.

You will notice that the beginning of your PRIVATE KEY turns from an S to a 5 when it's revealed. Copy your PRIVATE POSTING key manually onto a paper. I would make several copies and put them in several secure places. REMEMBER, If you forget your PRIVATE POSTING key you will not be able to access your Steemit account ever again and we don't want that!

Good to remind people once in a while. On steemit we can't retreive password.
