My other account is lost forever in the matrix of the steem blockchain because I was stupid and backed up my text document with my password on a different hard drive and unknowingly deleted the copy on the main hard drive.
The backup hard drive killed it's self now it's corrupt.
After a week or two I accidentally downloaded a virus which made my computers CPU usage 100% which leads me to believe I probably downloaded a silent miner.
I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows that's when I realised my password is gone forever. The only way I can get it back is by doing a full recovery which would probably take days, send it to a professional data recovery center, which cost too much money, or figure out what my chrome sync passphrase. Now I'm back to square one with Steemit.
I can't do steemit recovery on my old account which sucks.
At least I've learnt from this mistake and will ensure my passwords are saved online and offline.
I am going to make new more content on this account so please follow to help me to make back all the hard work I've lost.
Thank you for reading.
Good lesson to share with the rest of us. Thank you.

I would recommend to store the master key only offline and without any Computer.
The posting Key for however can be stored in a Passwordmanager.
