RE: SteemLogin - a new and easy way to sign in to Steem!
Again, all of your keys can in principle be stolen from Steem nodes.
I am not claiming that Firebase will never be hacked.
I am offering a convenient way for people to use Steem apps without entering a 50 character hash.
This comes with a certain risk. It's unavoidable.
Of course I was expecting this type of reaction from some users.
In my mind this is the price to pay if we really want wide adoption of Steem apps.
You don't need to enter a 50 char hash, You can use a qr scanner on app or copy paste using mobile lastpass.
On desktop or mac you can use lastpass.
What percentage of users would do that do you think?
How would you scan a QR code when using your mobile on the bus?
Many developers have given up on Steem because of the difficulty for potential users to login.
I can live with the risk. I'm sure others can.

They don't have to use qr scanner on phone they can use lastpass. Copy paste password in the app login.
And yes I'm saying lastpass is more trusted than this.
I personally use Lastpass, but regular people don't use password managers. Even that is too techy for most people.
It's cheaper to educate than to get sued.
