Introducing Steemconnect and its features.

Introduction

Most of us already know the name SteemConnect because almost all applications that are connected to Steem Blockchain use the Steemconnect application for login activities. Steemconnect is an application built on the Blockchian Steem to handle password security issues when logging in. And now Steemconnect has also been used as an application that is recommended for use as a media login to applications that run on the Blockchain system.

I do not imagine how difficult it is to guarantee privacy and security of passwords if there is no Steemconnect. Maybe there will be a lot of accusations accusing if using application A is not safe with the reason blah blah blah. Things like this will certainly be a big obstacle to the development of Steem because Steem always needs other applications connected to it to make it easier for users.

There will be many accusations and accusations directed at developers when Steem does not have a standard login application that can guarantee security for users. And maybe we will all never dare to use other Steem Blockchain application applications such as utopian.io, busy.org, d.tube, dlive and other applications, because we are only sure that Steemit applications can guarantee password security.

With Steemconnect, application developers are no longer confused with authentication processes that must guarantee the security of user passwords. The developers simply connect Steemconnect to the application they developed.

How it works Steemconnect

Maybe some people are still curious about how Steemconnect works so that it can provide security to users. I can briefly explain that when a user fills in a username and password through the Steemconnect page, the password or key that is used first will be encrypted using the browser-side csrf token (csrf token is a random string that is very difficult to guess, making the perpetrator of the crime unable to act hacking or theft of passwords).

After encryption using the CSRF token, a login request is sent to the server and the decryption process is performed. Next after the server recognizes the request, it will again encrypt and make cookies stored in the browser.

Based on Steemconnect's work method, it can be concluded that Steemconnect is a very safe application for users Steem Blockchain. I personally was very alarmed when I had to login to the Steem application if the application did not use Steemconnect.

The Latest From Steemconnect

Currently Steemconnect is in version 2.0 or better known as SteemconnectV2. Ten months ago the development team from Steemconnect announced the release of the latest features.

The newest Steemconnect feature that I mean is that users can log in using multiple accounts without having to log out from their previous account. Next, I will show an example when I login to the Steemconnect application with the address: https://steemconnect.com/login

Furthermore, after successfully logging in with one account, I will log in with another account via the account add menu.

When logging in to the second account, then at that time you can move (switch) from the second account to the first account.

Whereas for example for use in the application, I have logged into the Utopian.io application using two different accounts. On another occasion, I re-access utopian.io so when I login, a display will appear as below. Steemconnect automatically gives a choice of which accounts to take to enter the utopian.io application.

Authorization Cancellation on Application

If the user wants to cancel the authorization of an application that uses steemconnect, the user can use the address below to revoke:

https://steemconnect.com/dashboard

After being on the Steemconnect dashboard, then to make a cancellation please click the "Authorized App". Then select the application whose authorization will be canceled by clicking the revoke button. After entering your username and active key, the account authorization has been canceled in the intended application.

Things You Must Pay Attention To

To avoid the phishing trap, each user before logging in must ensure that they are in a valid Steemconnect address. Modification of the remote address is very possible for phishing criminals to trick users.

This is the correct and valid address: https://steemconnect.com

Closing (Conclusion)

The presence of Steemconnect as the official application for login activities in the Steemcoonect support application has made users and developers of applications more comfortable without having to worry about password security. This will make the Blockchain Steem grow.

I think after using it for a while now. This Steemconnect application is very interesting to use. I think Steemconnect is the best application that is very convenient and easy to use because it can handle password security issues when logging in. In addition, with Steemconnect, application developers are no longer confused with authentication processes that must guarantee the security of user passwords. This is very interesting for you to try. I hope you can learn it and try to use this Steemconnect application because it is very useful for those of you who are in the world crypto currency.

Hi apadet90,

Thank you for your contribution. Steemconnect is a popular project on the Steem blockchain. It has been the solution for adequate security on the blockchain. Currently, the SC team are working on the V3, which will launch with a lot of amazing functions and probably more security.

I appreciate the effort you put in writing. You explain the uses and functions of the Steemconnect project. The information is useful, but we value your experiences and thought.

Sourcing image is essential. You did not source the image you used on the ''How it works Steemconnet'' section.
On the grammar aspect, the post had severe issues. There are lots of repetitions of words that seems very confusing. Also, there are many broken sentences. An example is the one I wrote above. ''How it works Steemconnect'' Instead of How Steemconnect works.

I advise you to push for improvement. Thank you!
