Almost Lost My AccountsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit7 years ago

I spent now the rest of my leftover crypto to this account as STEEMPOWER and then it logged me out. So then I'm like ok let's type in password and boom right? No, it said "incorrect password" and after multiple tries and almost heart attacks I searched up "Lost access to my steemit" then some stories like this very one came up and they found it in the darkest places of cookies and stored passwords in chrome or any other equivalent. I panicked, looking for alternatives, maybe the password I'm typing has a special character that Stemmit doesn't accept. I almost gave up, but then I remembered I stored it in a separate Google Keep account. I logged in and it was there, the jumbled mess that I thought I typed (totally different). This was a lesson to not take these accounts for granted, SAVE YOUR KEYS AND MAKE BACKUPS EVERYWHERE PREFERABLY OFFLINE.

PS: If you are reading this because you found it on a Google Search to recover your account, i'm sorry and I hope that you find it somewhere, because this platform doesn't tolerate people who forget passwords
