RE: Engineering Update: MIRA Testing in Production!

in #steem6 years ago

Yeah but allowing users to unsafely download their own private key as a PDF, which many will forget about, its irresponsible,

and i never said anything about storing the users keys, i dunno where you got that, its like you didnt even read what i wrote at all, I am talking about giving @steemit permission for a 30 day period over new accounts, incase they loose the keys, and giving users ability to opt out of this 30 day period, from the beginning, but its really important for all the people who loose their key

I read recently something about this and it is so vague and sounds dangerous

To help mitigate these issues in the short term, we have been working on a solution that renders a PDF containing all of a user’s Keys and their Master Password upon request, and strongly suggests that they print it out as a backup.

I never said steenmit should save the key but you can still give @steemit owner permissions as discussed in the github page on condenser, im talking about a hypothetical future feature

i dont think giving people a PDF document is a very good idea, thats just going to be saved on the persons desktop or smartphone?
