Actually, I am not entirely sure on the technicalities here. When we key in the WIP, are we interacting with the Steem Blockchain directly? Or is our log in recorded by the Steemit forum first before we are connected through to the Steem blockchain?

I thought one of the main rules in setting the password is that it can never be recovered, EVER. Even if the @Dan and @Ned tried.

The situations might seem different to you but it the same to a immutable network designed to lock out anything other than a valid private key.

I am just explaining my interpretation of the Blockchain.
