My Girlfriend: a writer, blogger enthusiast couldn't get steemit to work for one simple reason. Fix this! #Intropost

Hi guys, Allen here and I know this is an intro thread but I'm not planning on being some great contributor here. You don't need to know who I am, but if you're interested feel free to ask and I'm happy to answer:)

So instead, I'm going to tell you right off the bat what I think one simple change you could make to steemit to improve your userbase.

You've got a brilliant idea here, and you're getting hung up on really simple, stupid things that make the site unappealing.

--Girlfriend discouraged from signing up to steemit despite loving the idea behind it--

Insert my girlfriend: writer, entrepreneur, and absolutely thrilled at the concept behind this platform at properly incentivizing bloggers to create unique content based on the quality of their work and not which editor they live next to.

Except, the signup process is so prohibitive towards her easily enjoying the experience she wants to give up. I know little things like this get overlooked when ideas are growing faster than the technology can produce it...but this should get fixed.

Guys, this shouldn't be happening. Period. Let's fix it and make the platform work for everyone :)

#Introduceyourself #Passwords #steemit #helloeveryone

We shouldn't attack her for this. When we're building systems we need to build them so that they're user friendly. I don't want to use websites or services that don't take things like this into consideration because very often it bleeds into other over-engineered solutions that sacrifice ease of use and flexibility with systems "just because it was built this way first" approaches. Don't fault the user; she's tech savvy and representitive of the modern user. We should be appealing to the mainstream. Okay, that's about all I have to say on this.

So what do you guys think? Should we drop the demands for an extremely complicated password so that the platform remains user friendly? Is it even possible & Is this just an inherent limitation of the blockchain?

Cheers,
J
