Steem is no longer decentralised and may steal your funds. Use Hive instead.

And once again I learned something:)
good info
Great explanation. I think a lot of people on Steemit don't know about these keys. Re-steeming it for others.
Cheers. I hope I explained it clearly. It's not easy. I know of people who managed to lose their keys early on
Hey @steevc, what you think about storing passwords in the keychain through Chrome or iOS? I use Lastpass too, but some people may want to use a less robust and free alternative. Are those options not secure enough?
Browser password managers are likely to be less secure. You should treat Steemit passwords (at least active and owner) as you would your bank passwords. You could let the browser store your posting key
100% upvote for great information! Good Job @steevc.
Cheers. Much appreciated.
Thanks for this!
I was using my owner key for transfers and was wondering myself what the "active" key was for!
Happy to help. I know it prompts you for active or owner key, but the latter has to be kept safe
Thanks for sharing. Most important is... don't lose your password key :)
Thanks for this, very important info!
something else I need to check out .. :)
