I'm happy to announce that Steemit has re-enabled account registration for new users, as of today.
Over the past week our team has successfully recovered the vast majority of compromised accounts to their original owners, including over 80% of all accounts secured by Steemit through the recent hard fork. Our support team is working around the clock in efforts to recover remaining accounts.
We have updated our password policy in an effort to reduce the likelihood of future incidents. All new accounts, password changes, and account recovery actions will require the use of a password randomly generated by your browser.
If you have not updated your password to a randomly generated password, then we recommend you change your password immediately.
