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 them you 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. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
