Restore Backup your Steemit password in case you forgot it second entry / alternative !

in #security8 years ago

Continuing with the previous post https://steemit.com/security/@criptoseries/restore-backup-your-steemit-password-in-case-you-forgot-it

In this post we will learn to give an extra security bonus to our Steemit’s password stored in our pastebin which is stored in our QR code.

To proceed with the tutorial, what we will do is go to https://cifraronline.com/
After entering the portal of encryption, what we will do is encrypt the password of our Steemit account to publish it in a private pastebin, thus we will have a robust security layer which will allow us to be calmer.

We will encrypt the password in the AES encryption algorithm

What is AES?
"AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a block-symmetric encryption scheme adopted as an encryption standard by the United States government in 2002."

This encryption scheme will allow us to keep our Steemit password that we have stored in our pastebin encrypted, to encrypt our Steemit password before saving it in the pastebin we will do the following

1: Data


Here you paste the password of Steemit that we will encrypt in AES.

2: Create password to decrypt our Steemit password


This password will serve to decrypt our Steemit password protected under the AES scheme

3: Encrypt


Finally, we give the encrypt button to encrypt our Steemit password
Our Steemit password is now encrypted:

To decrypt the password again we must have in mind the the password with which we encrypted the text, we proceed to decrypt:

1: Encrypted Text in AES


Password of Steemit that we encrypt under the scheme AES, remember that we encrypt with password and this one must be remembered.

2: Password to decrypt the encrypted text under AES


Here we put the password that we created when we encrypted our password Steemit in AES.

3: Encrypt


To conclude with the decryption we click on decrypt and if we did everything correctly it will teach us again our password in plain text.

Very good! We have learned to offer an extra layer of security to our Steemit password by encrypting it under the AES scheme, we just have to save it in our private pastebin, save the pastebin in our QR code and go!
Remember the AES encryption password in order to decrypt our password.

Another viable option is to send us by email our backup, to do so we go to: http://es.qr-code-generator.com/
We look for the option to send an email with the text that protects the QR code and we fill it with the encrypted STEEMIT password.

We generate the code:

At the moment of scanning the code automatically our scan QR detects that it is information that will be sent by email, we just follow the flow of the app and ready, we have in our email our password steemit recovered, we would only have to decrypt it in the page mentioned before.

With this, we conclude the second entry of the steemit password reset tutorial if you ever forget it
I hope it will be of great help to the whole community.
