365 Days That Count - Day 29 - I’ve been locked out :( PLEASE HELP! 🙏

I’ve made the fatal Steemit error and logged myself out of my account! But it seems to be a bit of a glitch as I never actually changed my password. I’m hoping beyond hope you can help!

How ironic that a few minutes after I wrote a post about how much I’m loving Steemit and mentioning @ned I am emailing him in a panic asking how I can get back into my account!

About 2 weeks ago I was trying to access Steem Chat but for whatever reason it was rejecting the automatically generated password I had written down when first setting up my account. I’d recently heard you could change your password on Steemit and I assumed you could change it to what you liked. When I saw the button to automatically generate a new one I clicked it hoping that could then be edited, when I saw it couldn’t I went back and did not confirm the change as the page was asking me to do at the bottom.

Since then I’ve had no problem getting into my account, every time I open the page it automatically goes into my blog with the safari saved password.

This evening after writing my post I wanted to change my profile picture, in order to do so I had to click proceed to the saved info for my account. It told me it was invalid, so I went back to my blog only to find I had been logged out.

My password saved on Safari for Steemit is the same one I’ve had all along which is now being rejected. I have no idea why everything has been fine for 2 weeks since I first tried to change my password, why when I definitely did not click confirm it obviously did and why I am still logged in on my phone.

I am quite literally praying for a solution. I’ve put so much energy into this little blog and have got so much out of it personally as well as the little bit of money I’ve made so far - when you are a self employed freelancer every little bit counts. Starting again would not only mean loosing everything but building my reputation back up in order to continue growing momentum.

For now I seem to be able to post off my phone but I’m sure at some stage it will realise it’s logged in with an old password and log me out here too.

There’s no history of a password change for my account but obviously there has been. I am flummoxed and so upset. I was asking for help last night, but now I am begging.

If anyone has any idea what I could do, what I’ve done or how I could save this page pleeeeeeease let me know. I really don't understand.

Having started the day rather depressed over all this, it at least ended better than it began. We went to the Kerzner’s to watch the final of the Australian Open and my boy won!!!!

And then we had a delicious lunch and a few glasses of Moet over looking the beautiful Hout Bay. I certainly felt happier getting home than I had when I left, but I’m still logged out of my Steemit account and I’m still praying for a miracle.

For now, there’s nothing I can do. I’m hoping posting through my phone will work and I’m hoping all you clever people may be able to help. I can’t set up a new account without logging myself out on my phone and I don’t want to let go of my one in to this account.

Fingers crossed!

Love,

Daisy xx
