RE: IMPORTANT!! NEW SCAMMER on STEEM trying to get YOUR KEYS
If your account gets hacked and your keys get changed, is there a way to reset your password? Like with the initial phone number or email you signed up with?
Or perhaps Steemit should implement a new password recovery system using secret questions and answers!
If your account gets hacked you can use this like to recover it using the password you had (as long as it's been changed in the last 30 days.)

Since this article is about the danger of links...if you prefer not to use the one above (I can understand that,) just goto your wallet, click password...and you'll see a link for "Recover Password" to the right of the Current Password field.
They already have a recovery option using your master key. Which should be stored offline and never used to login to anything. It's strictly used to change your other keys and for account recovery only.
