double verification of account during transfer of funds

Components

The transfer feature of the steemit .com website as been noticed to be the main target of account hackers and once they have access to the users key and account , then they have free access to the transfer of such a users fund without his or her knowledge

Proposal

Now, looking at the loose security once the key of the user is gotten... I will suggest an option is included on the website where the users can enable a double verification during the transfer if funds, this type of verification maybe :

• thumb printing ( which will require the user using his or her thumbprint to confirm any financial transactions that may take place in his or her account

• SMS verification [it will require an OTP (one time pin) that will be sent to the users phone number to enable the financial transactions to get completed]

• email verification

• google authenticator application

and so on

Below is a picture of how the steemit transfer of fund is without any verification as long as you have access to the users key

Next you are required to input key then you are good to transfer all funds

Mockups / Examples

The picture below shows how this features could be implemented on the website

Also the verification option could be in these formats;

Benefits

Inclusion of this feature will be of great benefit to the site in the sense that funds in its users account will be more secured and less fraud report will be reported to it from its users
The users will have more safety of their funds in the website's wallet
