I want to both upvote and downvote your post, so I'll do neither.

I want to upvote because I think that to gain mass adopoption, steemit or someone is going to need to have a plan for password recovery and to give users more insurance regarding the security of their passwords. There are some tremendous real-world lessons to be learned about password security and retention, but the more users are at risk to learn these lessons the less confidence they will have in steem as a platform. It will be a shame if the technological advancements represented by steem are negated by the cryptosnobbish culture of caveat emptor.

I want to downvote this post because at 800 USD, it's too high for a witness update. Instead of downvoting you, I'm going to upvote a comment that makes this same point.
