RE: Steemit tells you to save your password to a text file. Seriously?!? Instead, hide it.

Very clever! Thanks for the tip, never thought of that before!! I personally keep my passwords on an external usb, but that has it's obvious flaws as well. Of course you can hash a random memorized password and then use the new hash as the password and never save it, just remember the password you used to hash and then remember how many times you hashed it and what hashing algo you used. But super inconvenient. Seems convenience is the inverse of security and visa versa.
