I have seen quite a few people who had the same issue of loosing their keys so ots nice to know someone who actually recovered them successfully.. i resteemed the article in hopes that this information can help others :)
Thank you :)
Glad you got everything sorted out ;)
Thank you. I really appreciate the interest you took in my dilemma.
Hey @geneeverett check this out!
A scary ordeal to have gone through as you've described it, but glad you've got it all recovered. It's good and nice to know there are people who can help with problems like this. Thanks for sharing this lesson learned to others. You're now a happy camper. Yes, of course. Have a great day. :)
Same here, glad this got remedied.
Ill vote witnesses as well!
Thank you.
Thank you for opening my eyes! I was also mixing them up. Now it's finally clear and I can save them accordingly :)
Ah so you did have an old (< 30 day) Owner key! Nice. Thanks for posting your experience. My owner key is also on a flash drive... it used to be tucked away on my email in the cloud... like a noob.
Once I started investing more into Steem I changed my keys. However, I still feel like it might be ok to put them back on the cloud as long as I encrypt it with a strong password. After all, even if it gets stolen I can recover my account.
Thanks for posting your experience. I was wondering what the process was like.
Thanks. I would never be brave enough to use the cloud with all the hacking stories I read everyday. I will admit again though I am ignorant of a lot of tech stuff so in my case better to try and err on the side of you can't fix stupid so don't tread knowingly where you find yourself stupid, lol.
Just to show how brilliant I am, I bookmarked this for the next time it happens to me! When I first came on here I did something similar (less the crypto) and got locked out and had to go on Steemchat and beg for assistance... Now, thanks to you, I'm prepared for the next time!
Hahaha, good to know I am not the only one to make this mistake, and glad you could find this useful. Thanks for stopping by my friend.
And thank you! The last time it was only through the kindness of someone on the platform I was able to recover my account!
Honestly bro I am not laughing (much lol) Glad you got it sorted, as I like you just the way you are (name wise).
Too complicated for a noob like me to follow all the technicalities (hope I don't need to deal with them!). Anyway, all's well that ends well...
It's always a good thing to post such stories as a reminder to the rest of us... I just went to check if the password I have stored in various places, including good old paper, is the one starting with P. It is... Yet the one to my alternate account is not in the same place...so I'll make extra sure ...
Oh, and yeah there are many incredible people ready to help out... my daughter went through a similar scare back when she was new around here and she immediately got help from people on Discord...
Good, and hope you find the one starting with P for the alternate account.
Yeah, I would have preferred not to have to deal with this too, lol. A part of my reluctance to get in crypto was all the James Bond stuff involved with securing your accounts/wallet.
