RE: Desperate Plea For A Better Security For Steemit Wallet.

in #steemit7 years ago

Yes we need increased security, 2FA, I have been wondering why its not implemented and yet to find an answer from an actual developer on the topic, I am sure they are thinking about it. (I hope at least)

You have to give your mobile when you sign up so why not a txt verification to your mobile number? (yes I know costs to send txts but that could be worked around, Id be happy to pay for a txt to secure my account) When doing the important business of transfers etc.

Typing in any key, is totally insecure if some has put a keylogger on your PC bam your gone. HP laptops had the sound card firmware hacked and came from the factory with keyloggers built in, making it easy for any one to take your passwords.

So security is very basic at the moment and does need to be addressed thank you for this important article.

Even if Steemit.com has 2FA, hackers could still make transaction on the block chain if they have you password, owner or active key. Someone would need to invent a 2FA system for the blockchain. Think about bitcoin it doesn't have 2FA and people have millions there.
