If I may ask, as I am fairly new and don't know where else to ask.

I keep reading about how important the password is, but I see a number of passwords in the wallet. Are we talking about the auto-generated password given to us when we first register? I'm not clear as to what the other passwords are for.

Just to be certain, I printed them from a screen capture and have also enclosed them within an encrypted file and given it to my brother and my best friend. Luckily, not only do I trust them, but I also want them to take it over should/when I die. Still, if the encryption is strong, leave a file with whoever is going to inherit your steemit account and enter the encryption password in your will. That way, nobody reads it until after you have konked out (even your attorney and witnesses do not read what you write, they only sign that they saw you sign).

I hope this added to the ways everyone has for protecting themselves.
