SETTING YOUR RECOVERY ACCOUNT USING PEAKD INTERFACE

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


I demonstrated how to check your recovery account using the peakd interface in the video above. In the video, you can see that @k-banti is set as my recovery account, and the reason for this is so that I can easily contact him if my account password is compromised.

Also, whoever you designate as your recovery account must be someone you trust and believe cannot betray that trust. If you don't have anyone you can easily reach out to or trust, another option is to create another Hive account and set it as the recovery account for your main account. So, if an issue arises, you can recover the account yourself without having to contact anyone.

but there is a catch....

You now have two keys to keep, and you should be aware that if you misplace the keys for your account recovery because you don't always use the account, and your main account keys are compromised, recovering your password will become difficult, if not impossible.

The decision is yours to take...

Hmm, I see, well it will be better to set someone else as a recovery account, you can't tell me there is no one you can trust in that aspect, if there isn't then it means you can't be trusted too (I'm speaking in general 🙂).

That's one reason why we need to engage with people, that way we will be able to know who we can trust with something of such because it will be hard to see someone here that pretends although I won't say there isn't.

Thank you so much for taking your time to give this beautiful tutorial, it's always educative visiting your blog.

Happy new month sir 🤗.

You already have your sister in cases like this.

For k-banti, I know him personally. He brought me to Hive. I misplaced my keys at one point, and luckily he still had them with him. He saved me from creating a new account. This was over two years ago.

Nicely done and very educating @starstrings01. I believe this would greatly make accounts more secure and prevent it from been high jacked by scammers.

Wow this is such a wonderful idea to make such an insightful and educative vblog on the process of setting up our recovery account, it's an important aspect that we shouldn't take lightly because of the impending future we know nothing about what it as in store, so having someone we know and can easily reach in case we lose our account is highly essential.

I hope the newbies will learn from this.

I had a situation with a friend of mine whom lost his account to a hacker ...till date we don't know how he gets his hands on the account and started powering down... I had to report to some oldest oldbies and they began the process of account recovery... what was use to recover the account is the Master password and it worked perfectly...is that another aspect of recovering account??

Okayyyys. I have some people to trust and seriously maintaining two accounts or even keeping 2 accounts would be a big headache for me, so I will go for option 1.

Thanks for the explanation. It is quite useful

Wow....this is so educative and I believe majority of people here in hive needs to know this too. No one knows tomorrow, anything can happen though we don't pray for such but then setting someone we trust as our recovery account will save the day if anything negative happens.
