help I am locked out of my owner account

in #support8 years ago (edited)

Can some random person try logging into their owner account, and let me know if it works for them? I cannot log into my owner account. One day it worked, and the next day it quit working. Is everyone locked out of their owner account because of the hack or is it just me. I would like to know if my owner account password was hacked but my posting account was kept the same.

Hi Gage,

The site relies on Master Password now in stead of Owner Key. The Owner Key can be accessed from other wallets, such as the CLI

Kind regards,

Steemit

I can't log in with my owner account either. Not sure when it happened, sometime within the last 24 hours. It keep saying "incorrect password".

I have another account (as a miner) that gives me a different error message when I try to login:

This login has owner or active permissions. This is disabled until a future anouncement.

I'm going to assume it has something to do with the security updates they're doing on the site. Since I'm getting an error message on that 2nd account, I think an announcement is incoming about it (and the security changes).

Yes, it keep saying "incorrect password". I think we are having the same problem. Also, If I go to "Permissions", there is no link to click on login on my owner or active account. The login button is missing

There's some talk in the slack #help channel that ned will post an update tomorrow.

Good to know it. I changed my owner password maybe 10 seconds before all steemit.com went offline. I thought maybe I lost my owner key. I hope they will allow logging in again soon.

Mine list locked too , guessing they are installing 2 factor authentication?

Good post! I like it! Good Luck To You!

Are you a bot?

I think it is. I have seen that post a lot.
