I was not able to log on to Steemit with user name and the long password key that I saved. Just a moment ago...even though the log on screen would not accept my password, I was able to update the password key by using the old password key....and voila!!! the new password key worked as my password; here I am! So if you are locked out and your password key is not working give it a shot. Again, updating password key, by using the old password key.
