RE: This is such BS.... why are some people just out to get you and screw up your life?
You should immediately change your main password, so that you get new keys. In order to do so you need your current Steemit password of course:
https://steemit.com/change_password
To see all transfers that have been made from your account you can visit https://steemworld.org/@yoitsme, scroll down to 'Tools -> Transfer Search' and put in your account name:
Much luck & take care of your keys!
This is the best option,
The next best option is start a new account.
If he's got the original password and / or the e-mail account the account holder joined up from, will she actually be able to change the password herself?
I think she needs a new account.
Account recovery may not be possible any more but changing the master password is. The trace leads to 'koh', since he created the account. We will keep an eye on his accounts and take further steps after investigation.
Of course, starting a new account would be the next step to consider.
What's up @steemchiller good to see you around working. Love steemworld. We lost the master pass so I will attempt the account recovery method. I have been trying to recover accounts that were created and are still in Vessel on Linux. I've tried the some of the db files although didn't do it right =D If you can help I'll be at http://SteemPunks.live (discord) .. Also do you know how long the recovery process takes?
I don't know if/how Vessel stores the master password. If you lost the master key and there is no way to extract it from Vessel, I guess there is no better way than starting a new account. Maybe the developer of the tool (@jesta) can help you.
I would recommend that she creates a new account via the normal registration process on Steemit.
Thanks for the reply. Her account is safe other than no one having the master pass lol
@steemchiller I'm going to try that out! Hopefully, I will be able to change the password. If not, then I guess I will have no other option than to start a new account. That makes me really sad though, I must admit.
Since you don't have access to your master password, I recommend that you create a new account via the normal registration process on Steemit. And please don't give your password and keys to anyone from now on! Always log in with your private posting key and keep the most important keys (master password & private owner key) in a so called 'Cold Storage' (safe place, not on your PC).
