That was terrifying!!

in steem •  8 years ago  (edited)

I finally was able to recover my account after the infamous hack through the account recovery process (which was amazing btw!). I’ve now got a (strong!) password for my account, using tips from the many help articles on this topic over the past few days. Thank you everyone for your help!!

I’ll admit, I cried a little when I first saw those terrifying words when I tried to login – “Your account may have been compromised.” Was my dream over before it even started? I couldn’t bear the thought…

But it looks like I’m still around thanks to the quick action taken by the guys at Steemit and the helpful support of this great community. Happy to be back! I know I’ll never take password security lightly again!!
