RE: Third Update to July 14th Security Announcement - Account Recovery Begins

in #steemit8 years ago

This is a 2nd chance. Don't f up. Change PW and use something secure mix of up and down, special chars etc. Write it down and store it somewhere safe. In support, you wouldn't believe the amount of people that forget their passwords and can't recover their accounts because they didn't set up recovery questions or kept a copy somewhere safe.

Sort:  

If human beings are coming up with the passwords instead of a good password manager, they are already at risk. But yeah, password security is hard. (Cue XKCD post here...)

Its nice though not to be as worried about it as much as other cryptocurrencies, as long as most of your Steem is in Steempower. :)

I don't think I've ever used the word "as" 4 times in two
sentences before.

5 times.
(And in 1 sentence. :D)

As one who has seen many exchanges get hacked, I completely agree. As we move forward, we have to act as if we're our own bank.

(dang it, only got 3 "as")

I don't think I've ever used the word "as" 4 times in two sentences before.

If they are using the web interface, the web interface could "cut" easy to guess passwords by requiring long password at least X chars, containing symbols, numbers, letters, caps, etc.

Haha, that's true, buddy. :)
