RE: PASSWORDs, KEYs AND HACKERs... A MUST READ

in #steemit-guides • 7 years ago (edited)

Thanks David.
You can regen your password at anytime. Always worth doing if you think you have stuffed up & posted a private key somewhere, or if you have a 'virus' etc.
The new password can be generated using steems keygen or any other keygen avail.
the new password will in turn gen the new "keys".

Save these (I use an off line USB stick), then log in daily with the POSTING key.

I only ever use my ACTIVE key when I trade SBD / STEEM/SP etc.

CRITICAL if you use a 3rd Party site eg STEEMCONNECT (which is a good idea - it holds access to all other 3rdparty sites) make sure you only reg using your POSTING key. (see what I mean re making mistakes on occasion :-) )

Keep up the great blogs

    Fred, is that a problem when dmania asks for your active key for the very first time?

      Your active key gives access to your money.
