So my hard drive where I kept a pdf file for private keys died and I didnt have any more backups. I lost all keys instead of posting one that I use on laptop, unfortunately I didnt input active key on laptop. Therefore I cant move anything from account, I can only post. Can I recover the keys somehow? Im the original account owner.
No, sorry. You need the master key/password to restore the other keys. With the owner key you could change the master key, but without... there's nothing what you can do.
Maybe you could restore your drive...
I tried restoring the drive at the specialist but it couldnt be recovered because of disk trim that ssds have enabled by default so all is lost. Damn I guess Im completely screwed and the posting key I have just adds to the pain, its worthless.
Your recovery account is @steem... I think there is nobody active managing the account.
The procedure would be starting account recovery, message to recovery account. He has to confirm your authorisation. But... As I said: I don't think there is active management.
How come there is nobody to help in times of crisis? I lost all hope but when I noticed I can login with posting key on old steem account that means I have the same keys both on Hive and Steem. Is there a chance for recovery then or abandon all hope if nobody is managing steem recovery? Nobody to contact?
I am sorry for your difficulties... There is a recovery procedure, but it requires the co-operation of the recovery account... I can't imagine the same keys on Hive and Steem, but I don't know for sure - I'm not on different platforms. I'll mention the most helpful experts on Steem that I can think of; maybe someone can help a bit further...? @moecki, @steemchiller, @ety001?
What is your problem?

Hive was forked from Steem, therefore the Steem keys works also on Hive.
Account recovery doesn't help in case of lost keys.
Oh ;-((
I hope there is a way.
