RE: Important Changes to Steemit.com and Wallet

in #steem6 years ago

Please put out an easy to understand instruction post about this new steemitwallet.com
I have no idea about the password, there is no explanation about it.
if i set a wallet password will this require a change of all my keys????

Sort:  

Use your POSTING KEY to log into steemit.com and when you click the wallet tab, it takes you to steemitwallet.com to access wallet functions. Use your ACTIVE KEY to login to steemitwallet.com, they just separated the wallet function and made it a different site to help security.

I was wondering about the wallet password they want you to set, this is new. Will setting a password cause a reset of your keys????

You are not actually "setting" a password, you should be "entering" your current ACTIVE KEY to log into the wallet site. This will not reset/create new keys. If you do NOT have your ACTIVE KEY, you can use your MASTER KEY in the prompt that pops up on Steemitwallet.com and it will let you download all your keys in the form of a PDF file. This also will NOT reset or change any current keys you have.

Thank you so much!!!
Thats what I was wondering, I read a post a while back when it rolled out as a soft start that someone got locked out .....It just kind of spooked me!

Glad I can help, good luck!
