thanks for reminding me to watch out for security! I need to stop using the Chrome save password function..... :( ( still using it even though I have KeyPass xD)
Good advice, @holger80. I had a similar thing happen to me except it was in Discord post promotion channels, not in memos in my wallet.
When I realized what I had done I was able to quickly go back, and delete those posts, but I had no idea how many people might have noticed, and captured my key.
I was stressed out about it for the next half a day because I was flying, and unable to access my master keys to change my keys until I arrived home.
Now I pay more attention to what I just pasted. It's always when in a hurry that mistakes are made.
I have upvoted and resteemed this post as my daily post promotion in the @mitneb Curation Trail Project. This article will be featured in *The @mitneb Curation Trail Project Daily Report for 16 FEB 2018.
I'm also going to include a link to this article in the resources channel of my Discord Server.
Cheers!
Hi @mitneb, great to see you here, hope everything goes well, wish you great day
Hey @holger80, this is solid, smart info for newcomers like myself! Thanks a ton for setting me up with some good password managers. I am going to start using them right away. Great post and thanks a ton!
This is really important information. It's really important to keep Steemit accounts secure! @ironshield
Great tips, assistance much appreciated!
Wow very nice
Good pointers,
Sad to be building up an account day after day only to lose it due to poor security measures.
Cheers
