@financialcritic Yes. Account age is irrelevant. One can only attempt account recovery within 30 days of hostile take over. Which if you use your account daily is easily known. For someone who's account has been hacked comes back after 30 days of theft or loss of master password then it would not be possible to recover.

Thanks. I'm just trying to figure why I should bother to change my pw at all, if my original one can be used to access my account via recovery.
Because if you mess up in the process, lose your original key for whatever reasons or you don't get a response from Steemit when you shoot an email after attempting recovery then you are screwed! :)
