RE: It scares me that I give out too much information

in #security6 years ago

wow, I goy mentioned twice today. thank you.

An AI could get cracked just the same.

so can people's passwords. My point is secrecy might not be the best approach when it comes to security. we need to explore other ways like what we are doing with the blockchain technology and biometric verification. your thumb print isn't a hidden thing but without it, depending on the phone you are using, no one can access it.

about sharing information. Imagine a world where no one have secrets, eveeything is online to download. it will definitely ease the fear that comes with people knowing stuff about because guess what? you can know stuff about them too, this for me will be an equal bargain

No, passwords can take several decades to breach while using some of today's best technology available. They are either sniffed off the internet using search algorithms and previous online leaks, therefore secrecy helps, or brute forced, which is covered by password complexity like it is on steemit.

Therefore, the best way to keep your steemit account safe is by generating a new password on a 100% clean computer then writing the password down on paper and backing it up, never storing it online.

Fear in a completely controlled enviroment comes from those with authority, not other commoners who are also helpless against unfair law enforcement and power abuse.

You're from Africa, right? I'm sure you've heard how religious leaders in some of the nigerian territory are terrorizing the population so they can get them to not vote on the upcoming elections. Imagine how full citizen transparency would affect that country.
