<h3>Steemit Account Security and Recovery</h3>

<strong>Preventive Measures:</strong>

- Don’t keep a lot of SBD in your account
- Use your Private Posting Key to log into your account 
  - Active Key is used for transfers, power ups, etc.
  - Master Password is only needed for account changes
- Keep your Master Password offline (cold storage) and keep it secure
  - Note that your keys are case-sensitive
- Update your Master Password from time to time (recommended every 30 days)
- <strong>NEVER</strong> share your Private Keys with anyone... Especially your Master Key!

<strong>Recovering Your Account:</strong>

- Go to <a href="https://steemit.com/recover_account_step_1">Stolen Account Recovery</a> from the Main Menu
- Supply most recent Master Password (used in the last 30 days), your username, and email
- Without your keys you <strong>cannot</strong> recovery your account at all
- If you have just your posting and active keys you can still recover your funds but not your original account
- Account Recovery <strong>must be completed within the first 30 days</strong> of your account being compromised
