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. π€

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. π€
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. π€―π€―π

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

I've never heard that term. I do know about recovery accounts, however. π π π β¨ π€

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. π€― 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. π€
