I mean what if I sent out my steem to a wrong unknown or died/inactive accounts, can I have it back?

Only the person who has the active key for the account can return it. There is no return transfer mechanism in the Steem blockchain without keys.

Perhaps it is an essential part of the security of our Steemit accounts, otherwise we would all be at risk of losing our tokens.

Thanks for sharing on our channel.

Well.. 😊 once I have an issue, a player swnt out his tokens to steemit, that account doesn't exist yet. So, the first thing I suggested is to create that account on steemit and get his tokens back (that's before SE finally shut their domain) lucky that after that happened, we never accept that kind of ticket anymore 😁 thanks @moecki

Sorry for the late answer.
If an account doesn't exist the transfer will be rejected. The involved accounts are checked by the blockchain before the transfer will be executed.

In 2021, it happened though. I think it's a glitch while the tron took over steemit. I assisted one or two accounts at that time. They made it.
