Absolutely agree with the post above. Most blockchain-based applications don't allow for the recovery of passwords easily, and the fact that you didn't properly save your long password is the main issue. It's unfortunate that password recovery's not available there, but Steemit gave you ample warning to record your password- a precaution that would've saved your money. It's like generating an address on a hardware wallet and not writing down the seed and losing your funds after the wallet is stolen/destroyed.

If you're still interested in Steemit, write down your username and password for the future, and do so for all future sites or applications where this is necessary. Move on and learn from your mistakes.
