RE: Public and Private Keys - How to generate all Steem user's keys from master password, without a Steemit website, being OFFLINE

[madmaxfury]

That seems handy -- but also scary. Does it not mean that some other person can generate my password also?

Forgive me if it's a foolish question; I am a good computer user but the nitty-gritty complexities like this are far above my level and outside my field.

Don't worry. It is always better to ask, if you do not know something ;)

Nope. Your password and your account are safe as long as you keep them private. But if you will publish your password anywhere, then someone else (even being offline) will be able to generate from that password all type of keys to your account.
