RE: DTube Coin Airdrop: Claim your account now with your Steem username!

in #steem5 years ago

I thought the whole saving the key file in clear text was a bit unusual from a security perspective.

Saved the keys straight to my password manager to minimize any potential compromise coming from my file system.

Folks, make sure you have damn good access controls wherever you save that file!

If your file system is compromised, I doubt your password manager isn't :)

Anyway you are right about storing keys in plain-text. Hopefully many encryption software exist, even simple ones like keybase.io should be pretty good, but we do not think that DTube should force users to use one type of encryption over another. I think adding some text about encryption on the keypair generation page can be a very good idea though.
