RE: SteemLogin - a new and easy way to sign in to Steem!

Sorry to say @soyrosa, but IMHO the only HUGE thing in this is the complete lack of information about the potential risk of storing one's keys at a third party.

This is really a false good idea and I would never trust/use such product.

You wouldn't, but a 'normie' wouldn't use Keychain because the idea of installing some sort of plug-in just to use some app is still far away for many I believe :D So my question to you is: is there a way in which we can make 'easy'/normie log-in that in your eyes is safer than steemloging? Or... Is informing the most important thing here? I'm here to learn and read what other think, would love to read your input!

I personally love Keychain and find it really easy to use, both as a user and as a developer.

I moved away from steemit.com to steempeak.com because they are using it.
It's now so easy to switch from one account to another or to perform transactions where my active key is required.
That's why I decided to implement it on SteemReply.
The only drawback of Keychain is that it is an add-on which cannot be installed on mobile browsers 😢

We are on a blockchain were "keys" concept should be understood by users, even newbies/normies.
On top of "login in" on the various fron-ends/apps, there is money involved.
I audited SteemLogin code and website and I am totally scared of what I saw (I will post about it) and I won't like the way @irelandscape tend to minimize the role of the posting key. Read all the comments on this post, they are very informative.

You are right, we need something easy and universal for users to authenticate, but not at the expense of security.
