RE: A response to "Steemit to Update Password Policy"

in #steemit8 years ago

2FA is really inconvenient. I once reset my phone and lost all the Google authentications. That was a catastrophe. I didn't know about the code I should have written down at that point. QR-codes made me careless. Please do something to prevent these kind of situations from happening on Steemit.

Password managers are really inconvenient. I once reset my computer and lost all my passwords. That was a catastrophe. I didn't know about the backups I should have done at that point. Computers made me careless.

In the system I am thinking of, in such a scenario (assuming you didn't backup the code for Google Authenticator) you would need to take out your owner password from cold storage to use in an automatic tool that signs a transaction proving to Steemit that they should switch over to a new code they provide for you to use with your 2FA app.
