Dear @steemitblog and @everyone else reading
I just had a chance to realize that some solid changes has been introduced to Steemit platform. Pretty much out of nowhere (as even someone who spent 6-8h dialy on Steemit the way I do, had no chance to "prepare" myself for what's coming).
The way those changes has been introduced has been very "brutal". Without any visible notification and explanation what is about to happen. I found it very disrespectful towards Steemit users.
SHARE YOUR VIEW
I really love this platform for it's users and communities, but if this is what we all consider "decentralzied social media" then ... how is it any different from all centralized ones we know?
Please share your opinion and experience and definetly visit entire topic related to that latest "upgrade":
https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/social-condenser-is-live
Dissapointed users
Reading comments made me already realize how frustrated many users out there are. Lack of communication skills between those who "RULE" this platform and communities and users growing here only reminds me of France and Yellow Vests movement. It (communication) simply doesn't seem to exist.
"OUR RULERS" do not seem to care about us "regular joes". And it's so bloody frustrating ...
People like @justinashby, @master-set, @frankvvv, @cflclosers and many others seem to share similar impression. What a bloody morning :/
ps.1) I wonder how many people will not be able to find their masterkeys now....
ps. 2) Does anyone know how to change language in wallet section? I always used english but now once Im in wallet then it seem to recognize my IP and showing everything in Polish.
ps. 3) I need to sign in again and again whenever I'm refreshing my wallet - do you guys have a similar problem?
Yours
Piotr
I know many people have been blaming Steemit Inc for this and that! You seem to be among the few blaming Steemit for not communicating this condenser split now!!
In your comment above you stated that there has been no communication in regards to this split!!! You are wrong!!
There has been communication from @steemitblog for over two months I guess.If you do not follow Steemit blog here then obviously you will miss this info.
In almost all @steemitblog posts they always end with
I can even drop you links here from all the @steemitblog posts explaining all this announcements.!!!!
I will drop links from the very fast announcement in regards to the split to the one of yesterday!!

So there you are...!!! All that is communication and it has been happening weekly.
It is also wise to follow Steemit on Twitter here https://twitter.com/steemit because all these posts are also shared there.
For all those still complaining about thee use of different keys check out these posts below.

Thanks for reading my long comment
Thank you, you saved me from having to copy and paste the multiple Steemitblog posts on this. “No warning” is a dramatic over reach.. even though I feel better wording or more clear communication could have been done... but “no warning” is ridiculous.
Instead of saying Steemit never said anything just say you didn't see any blog posts about it.
They didn't see because they don't follow @steemiblog and who do we blame for that??
Thanks for appreciating hehehe.
Some folks just go overboard and complain!!!
Excelent recap! I just don't see how a PDF with all the credentials possibly can raise a security but lowers it. Give me your *_steem_keys.pdf, please, and I'll take care of all of your sins. ROFLOL
Yet whenever there is a bottom side there is a top side as well. I have learned there's a dramatoken today. I just don't know how to aquire some of these. However, someone will show me in no time. ;-)
!dramatoken
Sorry, you don't have enough
DRAMA.You need
10.00000 DRAMAmore for a chance to make it happen.To view or trade
DRAMAgo to steem-engine.com.Hahaha i wish I had this @dramatoken, i would have sent them to the people who need it!!!
Yeah! And I still don't know whether I first need to create some drama for giving it to others. LOL
si amigo pero necesito ayuda, quiero retirar pero ahora ya no puedo me pueden ayudar como hago para recuperar la contraseña
For me personally, the reasons for the change are understandable as a security aspect. I would prioritize it if Keychain would work in the complete Steem blockchain with all dapps and frontends. In my opinion that would be the best option for any user.
Separation of wallet and social makes sense to me. Especially since it keeps people from using active or master keys for everything.
Wallet handling is a bit tedious atm. The constant log outs in particular.
Sure, handling posting and private keys can be annoying. A good password manager or keychain integration can alleviate that part.
I was surprised by the massive outrage, since I was expecting the split for quite some time now. My source was @steemitblog and their improved communication strategy.
What is getting on my nerves is the ads.
But hey, I don't have to use steemit.com.
I still don't think they are a good idea. I'm also aware that many people thought it was a great idea during the last pointless drama.
This part also calls into question the motivation to get the split done first. It's not that Steemit was madly focused on developing steemit.com before.

Oh my brother ...!
I just hope that by this time I am writing you, you are a little calmer.
You are suffering from the syndrome of rejection of change. It is normal. We do not like to be taken out of our comfort zone.
Soon this will only be a small bad memory.
I also fell very bad at the beginning. Especially for the lack of communication. For example when the last HF, we were informed before-during-after.
In terms of language settings and key storage, I can tell you that I delegated this responsibility to Chrome. I do not know if you dare to do the same.
A hug!
Change is not bad, but communication is key for adoption of (said) change. If there is barely any communication about coming change, most people will not like it.
My main problem with this is the following, and especially people with a lot of $$$ in their wallets should really think about it .... Apperantly steem leadership is able to change the setup of our wallets, without any warning they changed (and now redirected) us to another site ... with said wallet (and re log ins) they say it will be safer .... but what if we have a bad actor out there, and no redirection happens .... all your funds (even though still on the blockchain somewhere) will be gone. How about that for hyper inflation management 😉. All in all, i’m not really happy about it ... but i just own a couple of steem, so it is not really worth my bothers.
Thank you for this helpful feedback. We will continue trying to improve our communication efforts. We have provided multiple updates through @steemitblog over the course of the last two months, but we understand we need to do a better job of making sure that people read those updates and the message of the updates is clear. We released the wallet almost a month ago and have been regularly informing users of our plans to remove the wallet from steemit.com to address security concerns, increase development speed for both apps, and decrease resource consumption.
These are just some of the updates we provided that discussed this social/wallet split:
Wallet App Soft Roll Out is Live
Engineering Update: Condenser Split, Key Backup, MIRA
Engineering Update: DDoS, Wallet, SteemDAO
SteemitWallet.com is just a web interface for the steem blockchain. Changes to a website have nothing to do with the blockchain itself. In addition, since there is now an open source standalone web wallet application (the software powering steemitwallet.com) anyone can create their own web wallet in literally seconds that uses the same backend but with a totally different user interface. Of course, nothing was stopping anyone from developing their own website and their own wallet for the Steem blockchain, but now they will have a turnkey solution that will make it much easier for them to do so.
Do you expect the average user to read engineering updates? None of these titles indicated any urgency. There should have been a warning at the top of the page before you implemented this change.
I do agree that separating the wallet was necessary for security reasons.
Dear @andrarchy
I appreciate your kind reply.
The only reason why so many people are very well informed about this publication is because Steemit Inc decided to make it very visible and public.
Why not to use similar solution and let people prepare themselfs for what's coming. Educate them and warn to make a copy of masterkeys.
There has been many people who lost their keys and only have their posting keys left. That's really very tragic.
Yours
Piotr
That made me laugh :')
I laughed badly as well @soyrosa :)
I know that very soon we will all get used to it.

i´m sure about it.
Dear @juanmolina
Hahaha perhaps. But Im mostly a bit frustrated with lack of communcation. Somehow Steemit Inc. managed to promote this post and add link to it on top of the platform. so everyone would see.
Why couldn't they do it and publish "warning"? Such a change is not easy to accept, when you don't inform your customers that they should back up their keys in safe place and that soon those changes will be introduced.
That's what is upseting me the most.
Also the fact is that steemit right now will be just completely to difficult for majority of new users. At the same time - that may be good for those already established :) So maybe it's not such a terrible news after all.
Cheers buddy
Piotr
I totally agree.
Something that caught my attention when I opened my account in Steemit, was the number of times that steemit warned me that "I could not recover my primary key".
They told me so many times. Everywhere the same warning appeared. Then I made about 15 backups everywhere ... LOL!
Hi crypto.piotr,
I understand your agony in safeguarding your private keys. But as a measure of security this is important. We have been entering into the crypto world at a forward pace during these days. At this pace we really need to provide secure measure in safeguarding the platform. Even though it is inconvenience after a lot of use we have to bear it.
And steemit already addressed that to safeguard your keys when you are opening your account. you might have forgot that just recollect that process. you will understand the important of safeguarding your keys.
I personally feel that it should be a welcoming move. Even I felt awkward during initial days of my steemit why some x person should see our wallet. Now I welcome this move because it addressed my concern.
The wallet change does not concern me and seems to be done for a valid reason. That said, I'm not getting advertising that I believe is offensive and may ultimately affect my continued use of Steemit. I'm going to check out other tools and see if I have the same issue.
Thanks for posting, seems to be on everyone's mind.
When I first saw this, I was sure it was an April Fools joke, but that does not seem to be the case. Eh, whatever.
As I have said elsewhere, convenience and security are opposite ends of a sliding scale; the more secure something is, the less convenient, and vice versa. This is a law of the universe, and there's no getting around it.
Hi @piotr,
I agree on communication issues, I’m not talking about “lack” of information but an overdose of technical approaches far away from the normal massive people who don’t care at all about the guts of a system. People want to connect each other, share and why not help others to achieve their dreams by means of using Steem as a reward system connected to their preferred social media webapp Steemit.
Information should be presented in a web(mobile first) friendly manner which is what they spect from social platforms.
We have plenty of data totally useless (but necessary and expected) and a lack of “normal friendly way” messages that tells people what’s going on.
On the other hand I have to tell this split of condenser is going to help achieve economic needs of the platform. I think we must be patient and give them our feedback to help developers do their job. Things will improve I’m quite sure. It may sound like flattering but you know I don’t do it unless I’m quite convinced or touched, that’s why I put here my humble opinion.
It was a horrible move on part of Steemit. Somehow this platform manages to become less and less user-friendly with time, not more. It's only a matter of time a drastically superior front-end will draw the majority of users away from Steemit and onto something better. I'm only still using Steemit as a force of habit.
I don't think that this issue was a priority for the users of the plattform and it's pretty annoying for me this kind of updates.
To do things more complicated you can't access to your keys from your steemit account so you had to guard the keys before the update in order to access to your wallet. Fortunately I had them in a safe place to look them and access without more troubles.
IMO with the implementation of keychain for every account this would have been solved without needing another website to access to your wallet. If this social media is hard for the standard user now they've added more dificulty to them.
Steps in the wrong direction. Interesting topic to make a discussion. Cheers.
I do not agree that @crypto.piotr is suffering an adverse reaction to change. After all, he is a Renaissance man. I think the new system sucks, to put it in technical terms. They have added another layer of complexity to a system that already fails in the category of being “user friendly.” What the technical crowd may see as a minor inconvenience can often be an actual “barrier to entry” for the non-technical crowd. We now have one more hoop to jump through. This will not attract new users. It will deter many who would be here but for the labyrinth of bullshit one must navigate in order to participate. Just my two cents.
It has been talked about before, maybe you missed it... It does take some getting used to, I need to update my password manager. It you can just use a different Condenser. The reasons for doing it are sound and good.
The implementation is a bit clunky and the moment, but it will get better!
Dear @thomaslknapp
I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder if you will manage to fix this problem in any way. I can only hope that you will find solution. It may not be an easy task ...
Yours, Piotr
Ouch, that sounds terrible. I've made sure that all my passwords are well compartmentalised and backed up.... So, hopefully it is okay. I hope you have managed to sort a solution?
I haven't done anything about or with the new wallet yet, but after reading your comment, I'm not looking forward to it. I just hope it's not as confusing as your post indicates.
None, I was forced towards my key section on my @posthero account when I tried to login with it's master password.
I had that yesterday, but it was a conflict with browser cookies from different sites since the wallet page is no longer hosted on steemit.com. It redirects you to steemitwallet.com now. It was really annoying, but a computer restart solved it.
I think we should have been able to access the steemit wallet through steemit.com, even if they added a link to steemitwallet.com on the side. Right now, things are counterintuitive. It actually felt like I was being phished, like I could lose my passwords.
Well, steemit.com is just one interface. I'm slowly moving to steempeak.com as my primary blockchain interface. That's Steemit Inc's loss, since they'll lose money from ads.
I do not like it, mainly because you can go directly from blogging section to the wallet, but not the opposite way?! So every time you want to go back from wallet to steemit blog, you got to enter a link, or find your bookmark of steemit or something.... and that change was announced long time ago. But I thought it will look a bit different. More...user friendly
Do you use tabs? Tabbed browsing makes it very easy. In fact, my wallet opens in a new tab, and then I just click back to the old tab to get back.
Sure. I already found this out that this is the only way to do it at this point
Exactly. The new wallet is a matter of getting used to, but the navigation back to steemit.com is annoying.
This is just step one. Thanks to this change as well as the release of Hivemind, we will be able to make both applications more user friendly at a much faster rate.
To me it has been one problem after another. I also had trouble with dtube. I suppose that when the steem rises in price I will just sell it and make a profit as well.
I don't give much headspace to things like this. I just get on with it, but having worked with it for a few hours now, what is slightly frustrating is not being able to get back to Steemit once you've clicked on the steemitwallet.
We need to adapt to new things, humans generally don't like changes :)
I completely agree. That's why I translated it immediately.
Actually this is one of the most commented posts I have ever read here. And it's still taking time to load. After 10 hours when the news has not reached all users yet. Can't see any increase in the client side performance.
Why is it that each Larimer platform has an even more complex and difficult to use economy than the previous one? BitShares was bloody tricky. Steem is so complicated that I STILL don't understand everything in the whitepaper (and neither do you). EOS is a nightmare of delegation and buying accounts and goodness knows what. That is NOT the path to mass adoption!
Very true @bitbrain
I tried to understand EOS and with all my knowledge (however limited) I gaved up already.
Yours
Piotr
I am glad to find out it wasn't something I did. Although terrible, I couldn't figure out why after powering up I couldn't get back into my account.
The notice I received was with the growth of the platform and the hacking that has occurred on other sites was the reason for this change.
To keep keys safe instead of using them across the community. What gets me about all of that is, there is a private posting Key, an owner key, memo key, then there are the public keys, along with all of those is a password, it WOULD NOT let me log in with the password for my account.
Super frustrating so I just gave up for the time being. Anyone else experience that?
Thanks for posting this and letting others read through how to correct the issue.
Friend the change does not surprise everyone, it is really uncomfortable and maybe disrespectful but I think we have to adapt, nevertheless they are networks created by men who always have a tendency to dominate and control.
I understand your anger Piotr. The way in which this was done with no prior warning that I saw, was totally wrong.
For most people keeping track on which key is for what doesn't come easy.
But having considered it today I can see why it was done.
As steem grows in value there is obviosly a need for the highest security.
I myself use a password manager and even so it can be difficult setting it up up to use the correct key.
The people at steemit need to up thier game before we lose members.

Dear @crypto.piotr - yes, this was another curious implementation by tha Steemit! For me, it helped me realize, by pure guess, that I would have to disable my Ad Aware every time I wanted to access my wallet now - otherwise it would not appear. When I delved into the Ad Aware fine print in doing this I discovered it "tracks" every bit of your history, incognito or not. Not sure what the need is to do that (shifty) and figure that's the whole reason it's "free"....hmmm.... So anyway, while tha Steemit has thrown a bug in tha ointment it apeears to be beneficial and did help me identify one more shadie Internet entity I can do without!
I think changes are not so bad. It may be good if Wallet and social media platform are kept separated because it can enhance the wallet security but what about the other things? This platform still lacks decentralization tendencies.
Hey @crypto.piotr! thanks for sharing! I just saw the changes here and I'm getting used to it. For me, I didn't like the part that I wasn't awarned too. But I like that the explanation about the use of the keys is more clear now... So, I see the changing like an improvement. Isn't' it? I'm new on Steemit and I would like to understand more about the negative part, besides not telling nobody in advance... Thanks a lot for calling the community and sharing information!
Hi @crypto.piotr, I agree that this change is confusing and not so user friendly. I would say user unfriendly.
Now I'm afraid to check my wallet. It looks like this move made Keychain so much more important.
Here's a tip:
Put all your keys in a cold storage document. I use a secured thumb drive.
Could it be that this change has something to do with Whaleshare? I have a Whaleshare account and they recently did something like that. And I had to struggle to find my other keys to sign in again and then foreseeing another similar situation, I backed up all my Steemit Keys too (just in case).
Well, now I can see STEEM is not Steemit and viceversa...
I didn't like Brave browser either, I installed some time ago and it has many problems, I guessed I had to wait for a good update later... But I still use Firefox and Chrome.
The wallet works fine with Chrome once you enter your posting key, it won't ask about it anymore unless you close your browser...
In the face of changes: improvise, adapt and overcome
PS: What a hell is a condenser?
I had the same reaction initially. Then, I remembered that I had my steemconnect password saved in my browser. So, I copy-and-pasted it to get into my wallet. I clicked "remain signed in" to avoid having to reenter it. My browser did not offer to save it.
It is certainly a defect to require a key to access your wallet, when it can only be seen by entering your wallet. A nice Catch-22, brought to you by Steemit.
Yeah I agreed with you on this.
All information should be timely and measurable not that you tell us after executing your plan.
Everyone of us has a stake in this platform we should not be treated as users alone but as a stakeholder.
The deed has been done now so i want to implore all steemians to resteem this post so that nearly all steemians will be able to know about this update.
Thanks to @crypto.piotr, I will not have seen this if not for your memo sent to me.

Yeah, same situation, sucks I've tried all my passwords I wrote down and they don't work? Maybe this is a hack game by the whales? Mmmmmm very frustrating... I get that we should have the keys and security, but my GOD can we at least change it to a reasonable password I AM NOT PLUGGING THAT MONSTROSITY OF NUMBERS EVERY TIME I WANT TO USE THE WALLET< I WILL LEAVE there's my one cent oh wait my opinion isnt even worth that. LOL!
Okay, I've tried all 8 of my passwords, spent hours here on this bummer trip, all of them are too long, anyone tell me the actual length of the posting password? I drop the STM in front still too long on all of them, I have them very clearly written down and it still is not working?
8 passwords? You don’t have them saved digitally anywhere? How did you use the site prior? If you relied on browser save you can search for it in your browser settings.
Hay @llfarms thanks soo much, @helpies saved the day and I got it all sorted.. I had written bad master key down recovered it all printed pdf new file page, 5 hours later, I'm good to go, thanks again for checkin on me you rock!
If it has STM then its the public facing key, and not the password.
I get why they did this, but it does seem to complicate things to me.
Overall, I echo the sentiments you share here. I do have one thing to add though, in response to the following.
"...if this is what we all consider "decentralzied social media" then ... how is it any different from all centralized ones we know?"
It's different because Steemit Inc. does not control the underlying provision of content interchange, and neither does any one entity. Even without them or their consent we can get the social media job done as long as there are still witnesses propping up the blockchain with publicly exposed full nodes. You or I can develop applications on top of that blockchain without having to worry about intellectual property shenanigans or licensing tomfoolery. These two things alone seem quite exciting to me. I may even be tempted to say revolutionary, but let's not be over-optimistic.
Even your memo came out a bit messed up. lol
I'll just use another frontend. Not too bothered with complaining to STINC.
Are you really going to use different front-end @enforcer48?
Many people use different frontends. Myself, included.
Hy bro, I think that the split isn't a so bad idea. Just as an example consider the case of a Ddos attack (as also many time has already occurred) to the Steemit blog platform: you can anyway access to your wallet! ;)
Very little time @crypto.piotr, but stopping by for a quick read and comment.
Hmmm. You are clearly and obviously not very happy. But the reason for this is less clear to me.
Why? I knew about this from my limited reading of what SteemIt is doing. I say limited, as I am sure there are many better informed than I. Still, they do publish updates from time to time. I think recently they named a new Communications person (@andrarchy?), who is attempting to improve communication.
From my experience, communication is a volatile topic and can always be improved. But at least there is some ...
Overall, I just view this as part of "continuous improvement," as after all at its core all of this "blockchain technology" is still software. And software is (or at least should be ...) continuously improved upon ...
Hope this helps a little ...
I'm for the changes. Steemit needs to operate as just another dapp in the future, just like other blockchains. Needs to separate itself from wallet for security.
hello. You can change the language in the advanced section of settings of your browser. Set english as the first preference and it will do the magic.
Thank you for your comment @mr-monk
Indeed it worked :)
Dear @Crypto.Piotr,
I'll try to be brief cause (too much people!!) and You probably already noticed I'm more in the introvert side.. That being said I'll start by saying that at first, I was really mad but thanks to the advices given to me by the good friend who introduced me to steemit, I managed to maintain calm, for I have listened to the advice of keeping in a safe, offline place all the keys, to avoid losing access to the account.
Still I do agree that this change was a bit abrupt, there was no notification indeed (don't eat me alive Steemians, at least not yet), I say this because for one to go check steemitblog is not the same as being notified (as some seem to think it is, now "You" can eat me alive), it's not that big of a deal for some, but when the 24h in one day are not enough for doing everything one must do, a little notification in advance to all the community would be appreciated and not that hard to be done, also I do agree that the change is a bit inconvenient, but, if it will create a better dynamic and somewhat better security (that, was not actually a problem, haven't been for the 3 years of steemit existence..) we'll survive this, it might be for the best (in the future maybe..).
To be completely open, for a couple of seconds thought of powering down and moving my "luggage" elsewhere, but I do like this community (except all the ingrained google association, shown by uBlock: fonts.googleapis.com ; google-analytics.com ; googlesyndication.com ; googletagservices.com ; and by Ghostery (if someone wants to check the scripts code), https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js ; https://www.googletagservices.com/tag/js/gpt.js ; https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js..)..
About Your p.s.'s
#1 · People really should have taken care of their keys (there were a lot of warnings since the very beginning about not losing keys =/..)
#2 · Not really but there were already some good suggestions by other Steemians, like auto-translation done by the browser..
#3 · I'm not experiencing the same problem when refreshing, only when I close the tab or window, but that is "normal" on my side
In a final note, don't stress it out brother, breathe, for now it's all "good", and one thing I've learned in life is that for as bad You might think things are, they can always become worse, and as I said previously, this might end up being a good thing (even with all the disadvantages like, the need to have multiple tabs opened and no link to return from the wallet to steemit, the ads,.. Some of this stuff can be 'easily' circumvented..)
Well, this was longer than I thought..
Wish You and Yours all the best,
Cy
i'm not having the problem of language. I'm Brazilian but always used in English.
I agreed was a brutal change, without significative warning, but wasn't for me a bad change, just need a button to back to blog in the wallet section.
Since the first time u join Steemit he said to you keep your keys safety, so i made double docs with them, for never lose.
People should pay more attention when got them at the first time.
This is just my point of view.
Dear @crypo.piotr,
The wallet notification came at the top of my browser since yesterday afternoon and, I tried my best to "ignore" it because, I thought it was just another notification of some sort.
Anyway, I cannot ignore it any longer so, I clicked it and, there seems to be a noticeable change really......(I have just logged in again) so, I will try exploring it and see what happens next.......
This to protect your account. Whaleshares has the same protocol. Someone can hack your account and change your master key and lock you out of your account. However, with this system, they can't do anything without the appropriate key.
Whenever I post anything, a side-bar appears with some chosen post links. In that sidebar are links to posts about this change, so we SHOULD have been expecting it. I was, and so it isn't a big deal for me.
However, having said that, I don't like the idea of having to copy-paste my active key every time I want to check my wallet, so I guess I won't be doing that very often from now on. Instead, I will do my "banking" through SteemWorld.org and KeyChain. So, @crypto.piotr, it seems that sending me messages through the wallet will NOT be a good method of communication from now on because I won't be seeing all those messages in SteemWorld. The best way to reach me now is to visit my blog and leave a comment on one of my pages. Then you also get to see what I'm up to as a bonus!
Hi, @crypto.piotr , I just read your post, I think A SERIOUS ERROR OF STEEMIT, many people never saved their master key, at least I wrote it in a notebook, but I assure you that more than 80% did not, at least they should have informed this brutal measure weeks in advance, if many of your followers do not write anymore, you know what is due. My regards, brother. @rigmelendez3
Dear @crypto.piotr.,
I replied on the other link you sent but, I will tell you anyway: I have not yet noticed anything "dramatic" yet so, I'll keep you guys posted.....perhaps it'll happen later?
I agree. I had no knowledge the change was coming. While some are saying I should have been following @steemitblog, I do not see that as a requirement of participation.
For me, steemit is not a career or an engineering project, but something I casually read, respond to and periodically post.
The impact to me was a mild nuisance, however I can see where others could have faced a large impact if not adequately prepared or having a system in place to make the transition.
I think there is lack of communication from steemit team. They must notify the users in advance for upcoming changes. Same they did during HF 20 as well. I found it irritating now because when I am working on steemit, many times I don't see my wallet and now this frequency will even increase because I have to enter password again.
Changes may be good but why steemit team dont understand the value of communication.
Steemit is still in construction, that's why those things still happens.
About the bloody morning profiles, haha! That's the price of being public, soon we will have all those kinds of things!
Greetings,
I believe with too much updates from my mobile and laptop, I also expected this happening.
I only hope this will make the system better and safer.
It is really annoying entering passwords you have to choose from different keys.
Changes are expected to come, with the way transactions in the crypto world are exploding. With the recent run of bitcoin.
Your concern is also a valid issue.
Regards
