RE: Get 4 Hive Hierarchical Keys using Ecency password

Yes, yes I am glad you found this out, it is important that all users of this platform secure their keys, I will tell you a horror story about my keys. Before the hard fork when we migrated from Steem so like around the summer of 2019. I was sure that I saved all my keys offline and wrote them down and I also saved them in a wordpad doc,but my computer crashed and the passwords I wrote down were not working no matter what I did. for six months I was locked out and heartbroken lol. https://peakd.com/hive/@wedacoalition/i-allmost-lost-my-hive-account

I ended up buying a device to extract data from a broken hard drive and was able to recover my keys and unlocked my account. When I looked at my keys I realized that when I wrote them down I wrote one letter as a lower case when it should have been an upper case, just one letter and I almost lost my account.
