RE: WARNING: Phishing is Back!

No. I've tried many times for years. I've been having this problem for many years now. I used to write articles about this. Based on what I've seen since like 2017, I have not had access to my private master key. I believe I never got it in the first place. I am not new to Steemit. I have made three other accounts and I obtain master keys to two of them and do not have master keys to the ones I made via Steemit as they keep the master keys. My recovery account is @steem.

I'm not sure I understand, when I signed up my account ~3 or so years ago, I did so via steemit.com, and I remember painstakingly writing down all my keys by hand, including my masterkey (password)

I've changed them a few times since though!

Yeah. You might be right. So, it is possible that I lost mine if that is true. In 2019, I created another account via Steemit and did not get a master key. But when I created 2 other accounts via another website, I did get the random twelve words or passphrase similar to what you get for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. So, I saved those master passphrases for those two accounts.

Are you talking about just a password or a passphrase as in twelve random words?

Password. Mine is not a key phrase.

When I created 2 Steem accounts, I got key phrases. It is the same as Bitcoin. And then there is the master password which should be one level under the passphrase.

@holoz0r bit green here but in account recovery what are you changing @steem from to what? what are we changing to exactly? I have all keys safe yes

I don't think @steem needs to be changed.

Well didn't you lose your owner key? I'm wanting to remove my account recovery from steemit because I think that doesn't exist hence the keys but I heard it's possible to do account recovery elsewhere such as splinterlands for example

When I created an account in 2019 via Steemit.com, they did not give me an owner key. Account recovery depends on how your account was created in the first place. I created two accounts via Steemit.com and I created two other accounts via a different website.
