RE: My Life's Journey - The day of near disaster on Steemit. 😵 😳 😱
First of all, I'm glad Chrome had your back.
I would advise you to go remove your Steemit password from Chrome's database now, and if you don't feel comfortable doing this, at least make sure 2FA is enabled for your Google account so there's no chance someone could access your Steemit password.
LastPass is a great option. I don't know if your laptop has a fingerprint scanner, but encrypting a file with your password in it that way might be something to consider. I wouldn't store your Steemit password in an unencrypted file unless the computer is not connected to the Internet.
There are many tips about the master password, and I think you've definitely learned a lesson here. There are always ways to become more secure, but financial passwords are essential to keep safe, so good luck in the future.
I enjoyed your narrative of the story. I'm sure this has happened to many of us where our parents have thrown something important away. I thought my parents had thrown away an old cell phone of mine that I still had some data on. Thankfully I found it, but I still experienced a similar sensation.
Thanks for sharing!
