Thanks to @ety001 for the swift review and merge of PR #282 — typically changes take a few days to land, but this one was prioritized and merged in record time. 🙌
This PR ensures that private keys stored in the Redux auth slice are fully redacted before reaching Redux DevTools, eliminating accidental credential exposure during development — without impacting runtime behavior or developer experience.

With this critical security fix now live, I'm shifting focus to feature development for the next version of the Steemit wallet. Priority areas include:
- ✨ Enhanced transaction signing flow
- 🎨 UI/UX refinements for key management & account recovery
- 🧪 Expanded test coverage for auth middleware & serialization boundaries
I'll be sharing incremental updates, RFCs, and early previews as work progresses. If you have feature requests or UX feedback for the wallet, drop them below — community input shapes the roadmap.
🛡️ Security Reminder
Even with DevTools sanitization in place:
🔐 Never log, store, or transmit private keys in plain text — in any environment.
🔐 Always validate that production builds explicitly disable debugging extensions.
This fix is defense-in-depth, not a substitute for secure coding practices.
