RE: Spammers buying successful Steemit accounts! Is it legal?
This is a problem with such a simple solution.
After logging in with the Steem password, the user should be asked a randomly generated number sent to his phone.
But for this to happen, we should first be allowed to change the phone number associated to our account, in case we need to switch our phone number.
I have been seeing this logging process more and more. It's even more secure and it's easy to ensure a phone number can only be associated to a single account.
If this were implemented, at most we'd see people with 3 accounts. Never 50 or 100s.
What do you guys think of this solution?
When I signed up I got a message with confirmation code sent to my number. But I am not sure if everybody has to go through the same process.
Yes, but that doesn't prevent anyone from buying your account.
Our phone number should be confirmed more regularly, not just upon registration.
If we needed to confirm our phone number once a day, once a week or once a month... it would prevent people from selling and buying accounts, 'cause they would be useless.
