RE: Easily query an account's feed, blog, comments and replies with beem
Ah, I remember, the v1->v2 transition in SteemConnect. Not requiring the active key is a good argument. However, I think plain login verification is also possible via SC with only the posting key. minnowbooster.net does that for example.
DTube allows login with the posting key but in that case you are sending the posting key to the DTube webpage. I don't think they ever prove to their servers that you are logged in there. It probably only checks things client side (I guess it only needs that). The keys are only used for interacting with the blockchain in that case.
