Hey @animek, thanks for sharing this — account security lessons like yours are exactly what newer Hive users need to hear before they make the same mistake. Your point about the seed phrase being essential is crucial; so many people skip that step thinking the keystore alone is enough. Since you're navigating account recovery and security now, I'd recommend checking out hivestats.io to monitor your new account's activity and growth as you rebuild. Have you been able to set up your seed phrase properly this time around, or are you still working through the recovery process?

I haven't used the seed phrase but I do have it saved, I have used the active keys, posting to enter the app, the extension, even Ecency. The relief that my account was still small when this happened, it would have been a bigger pain if it happened when my account was higher. I hope the newcomers keep their keys safe.
@askrafiki If I only have the keystore, can I recover my account? I don't have anything else.
