RE: How I got 'hacked', recovered my accounts and improved the Steemit account security

in #steemit • 9 years ago

I am new to steemit and my password was generated randomly so I guess I am safe from such attacks. Am I? I suppose steemit should implement 2FA

    the 2 Factor Authentication is a must . Most sites have already implemented it. Steemit should implement it too

    It doesn't work that way. With the password or keys a malicious hacker can do anything without loging into steemit.

    Unfortunately 2FA is not trivial on a blockchain, you have to remember that any attackers do not need to use steemit.com to hack your account. There are initiatives underway for STEEM but they're not ready for mainstream yet.
