Suggestion: use SteemConnect for authentication on ChainBB

in #utopian-io6 years ago (edited)

ChainBB is forum software on top of Steem blockchain.

Components

User login/authentication

Proposal

ChainBB currently uses account name and posting key (private) to authenticate users.
I propose to replace it with SteemConnect for better security and easier user workflow.

Here is relevant Github issue

Mockups / Examples

This will follow SteemConnect work flow and look like below (screenshot taken from utopian.io login flow).
SteemConnect example on utopian.io login flow

Benefits

This change will add many benefits including:

  • It is more secure as users don't need to copy & paste keys manually
  • SeemConnect is familiar and easier interface for users as it is standard in Steem community

Hi @zoneboy, thanks for review. As far as I understand, that rule applies to bug reporting and not in suggestions category or am I missing something?
