Change Account Recovery on Steem Blockchain

On Steem Blockchain, you would need to ask your 'Recovery Account' to initialise the account recovery process in case you've lost your account password. By default, your account recovery will be set to whoever creates your account. For example, if you use this tool to Register a Free Account via @justyy, your default Recovery Account will be set to @justyy.

You can change Recovery Account as many times as you want. However, the last update requires 30 days to take effect.

Your Account ID: (URL parameter ?account=justyy) Recovery Account: (URL parameter ?recovery=justyy)

The page integrates Steem-Js Library (ver 0.7.7). You would need to enter Owner Key (which is pretty safe as it stays only locally in your browser).

Suggestion: Set Your Account Recovery to someone you trust.

The Core SteemJs code to broadcast a ChangeRecoveryAccount is: 

steem.broadcast.changeRecoveryAccount(wif, accountToRecover, newRecoveryAccount, extensions, function(err, result) {
  if (!err && result) log("Account Recovery Updated");
});
