Here is one interesting info which I couldn't find googling.

As you already might know it's possible to claim accounts if you have enough RCs. Fellow Steemian digital.mine@digital.mine offers claimed accounts for free since some time ago when Steemit registration was lasting over two weeks. I got one free account claimed by digital.mine@digital.mine which he made for my wife mamadragana@mamadragana. If you check that account on steemd you will see that recovery account for it is digital.mine@digital.mine. So, I wanted to change this.

After some googling I found couple of articles similar to themarkymark@themarkymark's found here: https://busy.org/@themarkymark/how-to-change-your-recovery-account
This would be the steps listed by themarkymark@themarkymark:

  • Install CLI Wallet
  • Connect to CLI Wallet
  • Set Wallet Password
  • Unlock Wallet
  • Get private owner key
  • Import Key
  • Issue change_recovery_account command
  • Wait for 30 days

So, logical question was is there an easier way to do this? themarkymark@themarkymark said this is the only way: https://steemit.com/steemit/@themarkymark/how-to-change-your-recovery-account#@themarkymark/re-boyanpro-re-themarkymark-how-to-change-your-recovery-account-20190116t145929664z

But it isn't! Now it's possible to easily in few clicks initiate recovery account change on steemworld.org. Big thanks to steemchiller@steemchiller for steemworld app which contains lots of useful steem tools.
