RE: Hate putting private keys into websites? Introducing Steem Keychain!

in #steem6 years ago

What you say is so true! I had been using Steem for many months before realising that I shouldn't be using my master key! And I'm quite tech savvy and pretty careful about internet security!
This is a crucial development not just for Steem but for the cryptocosm in general (see George Gilder's Life After Google)
Steem has an excellent key heirarchy of posting, active and master keys but they weren't being used properly by most users.
Please add a Brave plugin ASAP.

It's the fault of the frontends. They promote this behaviour. The focus needs to be changed and they need to forbid master passwords and require active keys.
