Help! Another Lost Password and no way to access Wallet? Really??
Oop, my wallet transfer replicated itself!
I don't know how! But that's not the worst of it.
@mysticmaya
has lost her password and cannot access the money anyway.
She needs some support, after all, a single mother,
on the run from codename "Donor,"
who is fictionalized here at Steemit,
and I was planning to help her host contests and build community.
But how will she retrieve her password if Chrome didn't save it?
She may not even have Chrome, and she uses her phone more than a computer. Yes, I know, I know, there a gazillion ways to save a password, hidden in plain sight. She is far from the only one who fails to do this. Several writer friends I've invited to Steemit have LOST passwords.
I'm beginning to think CONSPIRACY - some hacker in Deep Steemit is collecting from wallets of those who can't find their passwords, never mind that they could SWEAR they know exactly where they copy-pasted it.
So... how to get that six SBD back?
How to get @mysticmaya to locate her password again...?
Summoning the brilliant techno-wizardess, @aschatria.... I'm not even sure which hashtags to use! And I closed Discord because it slows my laptop down so much, and because even though I swear I've muted every channel, I continue to hear the nonstop ding, ding, ding, of incoming messages. And I cannot even remember all the crypto channels I was in.
NEWS FLASH
Just found two posts by clicking on the right hashtag:

Oh dear - never use it to log in? what??
*When you create your account you should immediately save the master key on a document and store it on a usb key. Also write it down by hand and store it in a safe place. This is the only key you have at the moment and Steemit will ask you to use it to login so you can access your other keys. Be 100% sure you have done this step correctly before moving on.
After completing the next step you should keep this key offline. You can not have enough back ups of this one and you should never, ever use it to login! This key is only needed to regenerate all new keys and if your account gets hacked you will need this password to attempt account recovery.* Steemit Passwords / The Ultimate Guide To Key Safety
I still don't know the master key from the P_etc password.
Everyone! I am in! Thank you for all the tips! Now I can spend my wealth! My $6 at Steemit!
(@carolkean please help!!)
