Question regarding the hack. On the following article:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemit3/first-update-to-july-14-security-announcement-from-steemit-ceo-ned-scottNed mentions that we can log in using our reddit accounts. Here is what he says:
Within the next 48 hours, Steemit will begin to allow all newly secured accounts to reset their passwords simply by logging in with the same Facebook or Reddit credentials that were used to register in the first place. This easy process will work for the vast majority of the potentially compromised accounts. All of these account holders will regain full access to their funds and their original account name.
I'm probably being completely dense but HOW are we to do this?
I tried putting in my reddit password into the login but it didn't work (because my reddit password has less than 16 chars). I went to the create account link, linked to reddit, and gave steemit permission to access my reddit - but all it said was "you already have an account" - which I knew anyway - it wouldn't let me get any further, just linked to the login page which didn't work with either my steemit password or my reddit password - the question is HOW do we use reddit to access our compromised accounts and secure them?
Can someone explain?
P.S. I am @alyssas on steemit
