The "scary" message about their password isn't scary enough! Pretty much every day there are people that go to steem.chat asking for help because they lost their passwords. It should be a huge warning in red, because they simply aren't getting it. Accidents happen. Drive failures happen. But it should not be happening as often as it is. These people don't understand that their passwords cannot be recovered.

I said when I first got here that to get mainstream adoption we need an interface that manages the passwords of new users and users that either would rather a platform manage their passwords for them, or are simply incapable of doing so themselves.

I've had to spend close to an hour teaching some people how to even just double click a mouse. Some people are far less capable of learning new things. Part of being user friendly means not being so difficult...unless the person is willing to face a little more difficulty for added security.

A good platform should give a user that power, but hold their hand until they can use it.

As to the keys:
The majority of users mainly only need their posting key for daily operations. They need their active key when dealing with their wallet. I've never even used my owner key or my memo. My main password key I've used on occasion. It's useful to import all of your keys into a tool, but you should only use a key greater than your posting key on a tool you trust, and only use something greater than your active key on tools you REALLY trust.

Maybe they should rename some of them so they make it more obvious how dangerous them are. Might I suggest renaming the Owner Key to "THE KEY OF DOOM!", including caps and exclamation point.

Part of the problem with keys is the same problem that we have with Steemit with development and the ninja mine. Steemit SUCKS at documentation. When you join, you need to be properly warned about password safety and what the keys mean, etc. I remember actually taking quite a bit of time just figuring out where my keys were when I was a new user. That should be one of the first things new users are told about, because that security is very important. They need to make a series of intro videos and documentation.
