That safety feature for any Hive account also applies just in case its private active (or owner) key gets leaked, where if the "good guys" catch the leak first, they will immediately put all HIVE and HBD tokens into the Savings of the Hive account and give the owner 3 days to change the keys. 🤓

Indeed, and again, also true. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Another way to keep the tokens of an unattended Hive account whose private active (and/or owner) key has leaked safe is to transfer all its tokens (probably including its #HiveEngine tokens too) to a Hive account whose owner (or owners) is both trustworthy and competent, such that the owner will simply return the tokens once the owner of the Hive account with leaked keys successfully changes his/her account's keys. 🤓
The advantage is that there will be enough time for the owner of the account to change the keys, though the disadvantage is that the owner of the other Hive account who temporarily keeps the tokens will be responsible for returning all the tokens after verifying if the person who changed the keys is indeed the owner of the account. 🤯🤯😅

Well, that's certainly one way to do it. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

What do you think about the reset account that used to be changeable from @null from the blockchain where Hive emerged? 🤔 If you haven't heard about it, the reset account basically can reset any private key of a Hive account. 🤯🤓

I've never heard that term. I do know about recovery accounts, however. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

People on Hive (even very active ones) still often confuse reset account with recovery account, like what I noticed on my comment 4 years ago. 🤯 If reset accounts didn't exist on Hive or on the blockchain where Hive emerged from, then people would have easily and accurately interchanged reset accounts with recovery accounts !INDEED. 🤓

Reset accounts can no longer be changed when Hive emerged from the previous blockchain, and it is set to @null by default. 🤯 They were supposed to act as the account that can reset the private keys of a Hive account, even if the keys weren't recently changed. 🤓 Reset accounts were disabled because of some challenges (both technical and legal) mentioned by some Hive Witnesses and their supporters. 🤯
Anyway, I wonder if the
themyou are referring to are the Hive reset accounts or this conversation itself (or both). 🤯😅OK, thanks for the explanation. So they're like the predecessor to recovery accounts.
The first option. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

If only the (technical and legal) challenges of Hive reset accounts are managed well, then it would be convenient for a person on Hive to have only a single Hive account (the primary one) to have multiple copies of its private keys backed up safely, and not worry about losing the other (alt) accounts' keys. 😎
That sounds great, and I'd love to see it.Now I'm sad that they don't work any longer. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
