RE: Test - Create/Edit Op Status
So, you see the incoming recovery request from yesterday with expiration time '2022-02-23, 20:39:48', right?
The 'New Public Owner Key' is the public key for the newly created private owner key (which you created with the Key Generator for starting the request).
The 'Recent Public Owner Key' needs to be filled with the public key I mentioned yesterday (You can also see it at the bottom of the 'Owner Key History' below). It's your old key that was active for years.
I don't see this/an expiredate on my phone.
What I see is what is on the printscreen earlier. Is there info/text out of my sight? There is no open incoming recovery request!
If I ask for the keys now I see nothing.
So, I don't know what to do with the old (very first) public owner key.
I'm going to try another browser.
Update: used a different browser saw the option plus 'incoming recovery request'.
Had to change screens to go for keys.
Ot didn't work.
Have the very first public and private owner key same for febr 13th but I think these no longer work/fit.
Tried again but now nothing shows.
Better expire and a new request or just new keys or?
It's hard to recover if nothing shows.
I would never ever in my life do such administrative tasks on a phone. Always use a laptop or desktop pc, if you want to achieve something on Steem.
Anyway, the key from feb. 13th 2022 is not your old key. That is the key the 'hacker' has set, so ignore it. Just enter the public key I mentioned earlier and click 'Recover Account'.
The key of febr 13 I made. This was my try to recover the account. After trying twice at via steemit.com.
I don't have a pc/laptop so this is the only option left.
I tried the keys generated on febr 22, but don't work either.
This is getting seriously strange. You changed the keys yourself, so now the 'hacker' does not have access to your account anymore. But where is the problem then when you already have new keys? You don't need the account recovery then.
I can't get in. Apparantly, the recovery isn't finished?
I tried for days in a row to get in.
Better start allover again?
So, basically there was no 'hacker', because otherwise he would have changed your keys, but the owner key history shows only 2 keys (both set by yourself). I don't even want to understand this in detail, I just want to get this done now.
You changed the keys, but they don't work on Steemit etc., right? As long as you have the original private owner key (that you used for changing the password on feb. 13th), we can recover the account 100%. I would say, start again with creating a new recovery request then. But don't do anything by trying out. If you have a question, let me know and we will do this step by step.
Important
When using https://steemworld.org/key-generator to create the owner key for the request, enter the correct account name 'hive-166850'. Then click on 'Generate Random' and store the public and private owner key.
I didn't really get what or how it happens and it was really worrying me. Thanks for clearing things up.
I was having fun in the community so it was saddening when I lost my place to hang out.
What I did/tried:
Via steemit.com I changed the keys for my account.
Later I noticed there was something wrong with hive too.
I tried to recover via steemit.com twice without result.
Next I searched on and ended up on steemworld. I gave it a try and have a file with keys dated on febr 13. I asked for the recovery and waited.
Just like this time I never saw a request or timer.
I have the original keys as I opened the community for @team-ccc
I have a file with keys dated febr 13
I have one febr 22 and I think I deleted one too.
Alright, I give it a try again.
Ok, later when confirming the incoming recovery request, please use the original owner key (not the key from 13th). That is your working 'Recent Owner Key'. Basically both should work, but with that one we know for sure that you were able to change the password with it.
