Well, that is no flaw, it's your responsibility. If you lost private keys for your BTC wallet, you cannot use your BTC anymore . With other crypto it is similar so it's not hostage holding - it's more like you put your money into secure box that no one else can open and forgot the combination. However STEEM has some account recovery feature, check https://steemit.com/steemit/@whatissteem/how-i-recovered-my-steem-account-with-recover-account-option

    I appreciate the link but my PC crashed right after I pasted my password and it is gone, yet my browser can auto log in still on my account.

    You can call it my responsibility all you want. The fact remains. Its a flaw with STEEM. I have access right now to my account buy cant touch my money. This kind of flaw will drive users from Steemit and cause it to fail.

      Well, it's a designed feature but sure you can consider it as a flaw. If your browser can auto-login, there is still the password stored and you will be able to find it. You're lucky. If you have troubles to find it, let me know your browser and I will help you with it.

        Hi jimmco,

        Thank you for replying. I have firefox. I have followed guides to uncover stored passwords in firefox. I can see other websites but steemit does not show in the list. If you have further tips I really appreciate it!
        Thanks!

          Hi, if your password is not among saved password under Saved Logins in Firefox, I don't know about other way how to recover or change your Steem password, but rather check all related posts you can find, I'm not an expert in this area.

            I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. The more traction this post gets the better a solution will trickle to the top. Even if that ends with me coding the solution myself, which I am willing and capable of doing.
