Need Help : I Lost My Hive Keys Only Left With Active Key

Hello Everyone!!

Well foolishly I had saved my keys in my gmail account draft so yesterday I was trying to post on proofofbrain.io and somehow ai just discard my draft and deleted the draft where I had my keys.

I couldn't recover the draft, because I think drafts when deleted are irrecoverable. Now I have only my Active Key left. I took my Active Key from phone's clipboard where it was copied.

Now I cannot login anywhere. Thankfully I am also on Ecency Android App and that is how I am posting this through Ecency Android App.

This is what happens when you do things stupidly. I didn't save it offline or any other place so that I may recover my keys.

This is a lesson for you guys also. Save your keys offline and probably good to have it saved on more than one place but they should be safe so that no one may steal it.

If it's not recoverable, does it mean I have to make another account? Well I am confused, don't know what to do, how to recover my keys.

Anybody have any idea how can I now recover my keys? Kindly need your guidance.

Thanks

Oh sorry for that, you should have save it into your phone with unknown name, which anyone won't understand.

Or save it in your WhatsApp, thank for sharing this with us and I believe we have learn from you.

That is bad advice. Never put them on WhatsApp. It’s not secure.

Use a proper password manger like one password or last pass.

Firstly. Never put your keys in a gmail email. It’s completely insecure.

With your active key you can do a lot. Also if you’ve posted this you must also have your posting key.

You should use keychain to securely store your keys and also in an encrypted password manager.

Never put them in anything that is ‘in the cloud’. What that means is that some Big Tech company owns it.

Thanks for the reply. But I don't have even posting key. I have posted this because I am already logged in into Ecency Android App.

Is there any way to recover my keys?

I guess maybe just create a new account, post something like, "This is @aftabkhan10's new account.", and reply back using @aftabkhan10 to confirm it's not a fake account.

In the meantime don't lose or break your phone with that app!😀

There used to be an account recovery process. I don’t know if that’s still in effect. Each account has a “recovery account” designated that would assist you. You may want to explore the FAQ on how to do this.

Once you do get the account set up, there’s a way to designate an account of your choice to help you recover your account. I haven’t had to do this. So, I don’t have experience with it. But, I know it’s possible. It was.

Yeah but that is for stolen accounts. A Whale said it can't be recovered if you lost it.
