SteemConnect notice

in #steemconnect • 5 years ago

In this post we would like to update everyone about discontinuation of SteemConnect.
It has been incredible few years serving all users and dapps on Steem, but now that we have migrated to Hive as Hivesigner. It is time to focus our time and effort making Hivesigner the best authentication service, it can be on Hive.

Sunset date

We are setting a date to stop SteemConnect services on 1st June, 2020.
We kindly request all Dapp developers to plan and inform their users about changes.

Migration options

We will actively be improving Hivesigner and encourage developers to build on Hive. But if for some reason you want to stay on Steem, please migrate to some other fork of SteemConnect - for example SteemLogin. We are not in any way connected with any forks, as always do your own research, audit and security of any fork.

Hivesigner development

For all new developers, visitors, SteemConnect will be redirecting everyone to Hivesigner homepage and help them get started with development on Hive. We will be adding FAQ and more detailed documentation on How to integrate Hivesigner to your website, How to authenticate with Hivesigner extension, How to sign transactions securely, etc. We have published roadmap and proposal to support continuous development of the project. Please read more about it here and support our effort bringing secure and social authentication to the masses.

    Good! Steemit is in the business of censoring people andposts it does not like. I have 3 posts that do not show on Steemit.com. Probably more now. They are afraid that the truth will get out about their bad actions.

    Sad to know the shutdown of steemconnect. I'll personally recommend using SteemLogin as an replacement.

    There're other forks, such as http://steemconnect.cocozl.cn/, which is enhanced and being used by Chinese community (source code: https://github.com/steem-driver/steemconnect), could also be used temporarily if you trust the service provider.

    Security Warning:

    • As mentioned above in the post, you'll need to trust the service provider such as SteemLogin, since steemconnect by design will bring security issues if not well deployed and audited. By its kind of centralized design, the @steemconnect account will be able to control the posting authorities of all its users (including users of busy.org and Partiko) if it wants to do evil.
    • For the same reason, I'll recommend all DApp developers who used steemconnect to revoke their authorization to @steemconnect before June 1st, to avoid potentially harming its users: https://steemlogin.com/revoke/steemconnect
