Whew! Thank you for that uplifting words. Changed some passwords just the same to be sure.

Sort:  

Yes. Safety first. Be careful where you enter your passwords.

The best is at least the double check (check at least twice), or more times before you enter your password anywhere. I am on the Steem/Hive blockchain since 2017.05.17, and I saw a few people getting hacked in the previous almost five years.

Safe key storage is also important. If you lose your private active and owner key, then you lose your funds in your Hive account.

Where it is possible, use (enter) your private posting key, instead of your higher level keys. If someone get your private posting key, then he/she will not have access to your funds in your Hive account.

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Got it. Thank you very much.

Good advice! I would also add to store your keys using encryption with Veracrypt. Encrypted "containers" are especially convenient, as you can easily transfer and backup your encrypted vault of protected files, by simply doing drag & drop like you can with any other file or folder.
