    Hi. I am not sure how to tell if there is a problem. I went to "stolen account recovery". If all is well, what message will I see there?

    Thank you

        A message/alert on Steemit itself, in addition to an email, would be a good measure. I think a lot of people use application-specific email addresses to register on Steemit and probably don't check them often or at all.

            E-mail is an already archaic technology. What about people that used disposable e-mails? (It turns out that cryptoenthusiasts are also fanatics of never disclosing personal data to anyone).

            Perhaps using a signed message from another key could be used (a configurable bitcoin wallet, perhaps?)

            To change (whatever), please sign this message with (BTC address; that should also require a signed message to be changed):
            "Change the data of my account: TIMESTAMP"
