This HIVE account is just an identical twin of STEEM , right?
As a novice to be here, correct me if I misunderstood something.
Before entering this hive.blog for the first time, I had to log in to my old steemit.com to check if my old ID & passwords were working there.
As usual, my browser auto-filled the ID & password so log-in to STEEM seemed fine but STEEM site warned that I'm using the "Private Owner Key" & advised me to use "Private Posting Key". The site also gave a link to download my KEYs in pdf, so I downloaded it.
Then I logged into HIVE using my "Private Posting Key" (by now I knew to use just posting key) & ID of steemit account, it's okay.
But something lingering in my thoughts about those keys & twinned accounts:
All those keys can be leaked from
- steemit site (we all are lack of trust to it, that's why we're here)
- my browser (I usually stored my unimportant ID & passwords in my browser)
- downloaded pdf file (this one is a bit easy to get leaked as it's sitting in my documents).
Can you guys & girls pleassssse advise me how to better improve to protect my account here? Any 2FA, hardware device etc... available ?
Thanks in advance.
