Steemit question: Locked out?

in steemit •  8 years ago  (edited)

My girlfriend started a Steemit account a few days ago. If she tries to log in she gets the following message.

"This login gives owner or active permissions and should not be used here. Please provide a posting only login."

Soooo what can I do about this? She never copied any of the other keys.

How did she pull that off? If she signed up via FB or Reddit then she must have gotten a different private key out of her wallet and is using it. Instead she can use her original password (Starts with P5...) to login. That is the standard way to login. That was the password it gives you and makes you check you have made a copy/backup off...

The good news is that the posting keys should still be accessible under wallet > permissions. Make sure to copy down all the keys!
