My First Big Steem Clusterf@ck + Problems Changing the Master Key

Good night, everyone.

Yesterday I had finished publishing a post and, as usual, I go to some groups in Discord to promote my link and, by accident, I posted my Active Key instead! 😱

Yes, I posted my Steem Active Key on a public forum! First, my heart almost dropped to my stomach, Then, in a state next to panic, I said "Argggghhhhh!" and went looking for my Master Key to update all the keys, hoping I would be quick enough or else I would get stolen.

First, I tried changing the Master Key through SteemWorld + SteemConnect and it failed... I tried 3 times, always encountering the same error.

Then, in a state of confusion, I typed my Master Key directly on SteemWorld, which gave me a warning that it wouldn't allow me to do that as it would be an unsafe operation.

My last attempt was through SteemIt.com ... and it worked. Ufff... What a relief. I dodged a bullet.

After the dust settled, a question popped up in my mind:

• If the SteemIt.com website was down for any reason, what chances would I have? I'd be a sitting duck, waiting for someone to get into my account, with my hands tied. 😮

What other options do we have to quickly change our Master Key, in case of an emergency?
