RE: Steemit to Update Password Policy

in #steemit8 years ago

I never had a problem with passwords. I use long passwords by default. The issue here is most people aren't like me so we need a simple way to generate passwords. So now you're putting the responsibility into the hands of Steemit and how will we know their random number generator is truly random?

I understand this is a difficult problem but I would like to request an expert mode to bypass this for people who know what they are doing. I would also like to know more about the random number generator Steemit will be using and the sources of entropy. If they use a pseudo random number generator then that might not be good enough, but if they get entropy from random keystrokes and mouse movements that might be slightly better and I'm guessing that is how they will do it.
