RE: How the Steem account recovery works (and why your trustee can't steal your account)

in #steem7 years ago

@someguy123 I posted this question on an post that @noisy posted a while ago, but I just realized that perhaps this is a better place to ask this question. When you said that "The reality is, unless the trustee has a copy of at least one of your owner private keys, they cannot recover your account without your help".

Does this mean that if ANONSTEEM site did not actually delete the first owner private key from the anonsteem server, it could re-store and thus take over the account of a user? I know that the site states that the user can delete the original keys from the server after the account password has been change in steemit.com. But what happens if the user does not delete those keys? Could someone use those keys that were not deleted but should have been to hack the new user account?

If it is possible to hack a user account by using the original/first keys that should have been deleted from the anonsteem server, how do people know for sure that those keys have been deleted from the server?
