At the same time, let me express my great respect and admiration for ploughing through the recovery process, which is something... something I can't even imagine doing. Like we're all so used to clicking a button (actually just the mouse button, but while the cursor happens to be on a virtual image of a button) and expecting something to happen. Once it does not... well, it's comparable to setting a glass down on the table, only to see it fly up and getting smashed to the ceiling. It's so unlikely that once it happens you (that is me) wouldn't even even know how to explain it, not to mention resolve it.
I remember seeing in your last post a mention regarding secondary e-mail for recovery. What's your recommendation on that? Though that may be coming up in your next post, if I remember correctly.Ho-ly-shit! What a horror story, @chelsea88! I'm so sorry that you had to go through all this horrible experience. Though I'm glad you managed to recover your gmail and steemit accounts, but still sad that you lost your job because of it.

Hey there thanks for the comment. Yes it really does fuck with everything. Yeah i had a recovery email linked with my primary email. But with steemit you can only recover your steemit account on the email you signed up under.
With gmail i basically was not going to get access to said email regardless of a backup email unless i had my phone number because i had set that up as part of the two step verification.
So in theory i could've regained access to my email with only the secondary backup email but since i had set it up "extra secure" with Also the phone number that changed things.
Hope that makes some sense.
