RE: Some Precautions For Your Accounts

avatar

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

So you are saying that if one ever used steem connect they should change their masterkey, that's the one they tell you to never lose right? When changing that does that automatically change the others or will you at that time be asked if you want to change active and posting keys also?

Then when we do this on hive it will change the keys you came over here with to one's exclusively to hive?

On account recovery who do we assign the recovery option to on each site?

I'm saying anyone who uses Hive, regardless if they still use Steem or not, should do the following (at minimum):

  • change account password on Hive as described in the post (the interface on PeakD will provide you with more details, yes that will mean automatically changing all private keys which are derived from the master password, and yes, that means you will have to re-add them to Hive Keychain or HiveSigner or PeakLock, but all that you'll be told by the PeakD interface, so read carefully)
  • change locking/storing password on Hive Keychain, HiveSigner, PeakLock as a precaution (especially for HiveSigner, unless you know and trust the current devs of SteemConnect from Steem)
  • change recovery account, if it's @steem

On account recovery who do we assign the recovery option to on each site?

That is up to you. It should be someone you can count on to be there for you if your account is compromised and you need him or her to start the recovery procedure. Also ideally someone who knows you more than on Steem/Hive, someone to whom you can prove it's really you (on Discord is ok I suppose).
