Other Websites:

When I created two accounts via not Steemit.com but another website, I got master passphrases which is a level above the private master key (password) and the passphrase is twelve random words similar to how Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies do it for their passphrases. When I created 2 accounts via Steemit.com, I did not get master passphrases because I didn't actually make the accounts.

Master Passphrase

Twelve Random Words

Private Master Key

Password code of letters and numbers

Creating or Registering

Because when you register on Steemit.com for example, you are submitting your request to join and a Steemit staff or somebody will pay 3 Steem or a certain amount of money to create the account on your behalf and they retain the passphrase in my experience. I know this because I have Bitcoin and because I created 2 Steem accounts on my own.

Recovery Accounts

So, when you create your own account, then you can assign a recovery account. When you register for an account on Steemit.com, then the recovery account should be @steem and that probably means that the Steem or Steemit Inc account (@steem or whichever accounts that may do those types of things) keeps the master passphrase for each account they create on behalf of the people that joined, that signed up, that registered to join Steem via Steemit.

Accuracy

Everything I'm saying is based on what I've observed based on things I did, since I created 2 accounts, and registered for 2 other accounts. So, I cannot say everything I am saying is totally accurate but as far as I know, this is what I saw and experienced.

Private Keys vs Public Keys

But at the same time, this account, @joeyarnoldvn, which I registered for in 2017, I may have lost my private owner key as I ended up saving my public private key back in 2017 and I kind of didn't know that there were public and private keys or maybe I forgot. So, that was a lesson I learned the hard way I think.

Changing Recovery Accounts

I think I have heard some people saying it might be possible to create and change the recovery account for a Steem account and I have tried to do that a few times and failed via Steemit.com or the Steemit Wallet website. I think I remember it saying I couldn't as I cannot seem to be able to find my private master key (password code of letters and numbers) or my master passphrase (twelve random words). As of right now, I cannot say that I am an expert in all of these things. I may try to investigate some of these things more in the future. I may try other websites, apps, to see if I can better protect some of my accounts. I think two of my accounts I created has this account here, @joeyarnoldvn, my first account, as a recovery account. In the future, I may try to change that as I do not have a master key for this account. Well, unless if @steem could perhaps reset my passwords, my keys. Yes, you can go into the wallet to try to reset the keys but it requires the master key which I think I lost. If Tron Overlord Justin Sun has control over the @steem account, he or other Tron staff could try to lock me out by resetting my keys. Well, I don't know if that is possible or not. But I kind of don't want to find out the hard way.

Hive

The good news is that we can at least try to move over to Hive and leave Steem tomorrow, that is Friday, and perhaps I will try harder to key my private keys saved lol.
