How I Lost and found my Steemit Password

in #steemitdotcom8 years ago (edited)

I lost my Steemit password because I wrote it on a file with MS Word and forgot to save it.
Steemit does not have a forget password button.
My intention was to store it on the Cloud.

This is the message I got.

Fortunately, after I got a hold of myself, I was able to recover the file from the Version auto save feature of MS Word.

So…if you did not save it to a text file and you use Google chrome you might find it here

Go to settings

Go to the Manage password and input your PC Master password.

You should find it here.

Most importantly, we should all just print it and store it the old fashioned way....in a safe!
