RE: Hate putting private keys into websites? Introducing Steem Keychain!

in #steem6 years ago

So, would you recommend generating new passes since steem-connect and steemit Inc. server hold our keys on their servers? Thus generating new passes would allow greater safety since even if steem connect and steemit inc get hacked, it wouldn't matter. Thus making the keychain more effective.

Also, does send work with #privacy send?

I'm pretty sure that they do not store keys and only give a specific account a authentification to post under your name, even if they get hacked, nothing should happen, if you remove authentificated accounts. Of course, if hacked, it could be used to phish newly entered keys.

Yes, that's what I thought. Thanks for the confirm.

Definitely, but where will you post from? Steem and Busy haven't implemented this extension yet. When you find a place to post from and do operations from that accepts the plugin, then reset the passwords.

I believe they will be implenting the key integration soon.

It would make sense, but at least Steemit isn't known for quick adjustments. However, since they're open source, I would as well expect for people to propose the changes by themselves. Do you have information regarding the current development status?

I think @yabapmatt has the most details on such updates. If you follow him or @aggroed, his partner; news of new updates should be coming out.
