Urgent Tutorial | How To Revoke Posting Authority to an account

in Best of India3 years ago

Very recently, we saw the misuse of our posting keys by steem automation app, steemauto.app. Revoking the posting authority to that user is the only way you will get complete control of your account. However, the website, auto.steemdb.online is not working. However, that is not the only way you can revoke the posting authority.

The best way to do this would be to use @steemchiller's steemworld.org

Steps:

7- Once you have signed in, you will be able to see the authorised posting authorities, click on the red coloured x symbol to revoke the authority to a particular user. In this case, it will be steemauto.app.

Signe the transaction using Keychain

8- Now, click on save changes and complete the procedure by signing the transaction using Keychain.

Now, you have successfully removed the posting authority and secured your account again. I would suggest that you also change your passwords altogether to be on the safer side.

Thank you for educating us!

Amazing piece of information by @starload28.

So it's basically the Autopilot button on Steemit!? Hmm. Better off not using it.
