RE: IMPORTANT !!! Vulnerability in password protection for accounts

in #vulnerability • 9 years ago

A message/alert on Steemit itself, in addition to an email, would be a good measure. I think a lot of people use application-specific email addresses to register on Steemit and probably don't check them often or at all.

          E-mail is an already archaic technology. What about people that used disposable e-mails? (It turns out that cryptoenthusiasts are also fanatics of never disclosing personal data to anyone).

          Perhaps using a signed message from another key could be used (a configurable bitcoin wallet, perhaps?)

          To change (whatever), please sign this message with (BTC address; that should also require a signed message to be changed):
