RE: Desperate Plea For A Better Security For Steemit Wallet.
Use the savings account feature and hacked account recovery will do email / phone verification. Steemit has the most secure hosted wallet on any blockchain.
Thanks @dan for your input. Other's are smart enough not to leave too much liquid steem or sbd on their account but others are still getting caught out. I guess you can't avoid that in any platform.
As @gyro said other mums and dads who uses the platform don't have a clue about the different type of keys and they just keep using the master password and probably leaving liquid steem and sbd in their wallet not in their savings account or not putting it in straight in SP.
I admit I am one of those mums and dads who keep using their master password until now. I dove in to this platform and learn as I go. I'm just lucky not to reveal my password somewhere else and making sure that I keep everything in SP rather than leaving it too long in liquid steem.
However, others are still get caught out. I just hope we all learn from their mistakes. We just need to raise awareness as this post is doing. Others, witnesses or members, are also doing a great job in raising awareness when someone gets hacked or make a mistake or other scams out there.

Thanks for the link @foovler, it is hard to understand how others leave their liquid steem and sbd in there for too long and not putting it in a savings or SP. But it did happen.
