<html> <p>Steemit is a great platform and it is shining brighter and brighter day by day. It has one of the coolest and helpful community in the entire crypto world. But one of the downside of the STEEMIT is the security. If a person has mistakenly received somebody's master key then he/she can do anything with its account. I think there must be a better way to maintain security on Steemit. I agree that SteemConnect V2 has greatly improved the overall experience and security in order to access the third party services but there is something missing and I think there must be more than 1 step of verification while using the <strong>master key or active key</strong>. </p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://s9.postimg.org/ckwgf98hb/DQm_WNPu_C5q_ZZ1e_TEWf7ye2d_Vud_Zg_DJn_RXKm_Zfdt8i_Qa_Gh_LC.png" width="824" height="393"/></p> <h1><strong>OTP Verification</strong></h1> <p>My idea to increase the security of the platform is to implement the <strong>OTP based on the Email and Phone number </strong>that a user has provided and it must be a mandatory field. So if a user uses its <strong>Master Key </strong>or <strong>Active Key </strong>anywhere related to Steemit then after verification of the key there must be a middleware in between which would be <strong>OTP (phone or mail or both)</strong> and after verification of the OTP, the user operation will be performed. However if a user is using <strong>Posting Key </strong>then <strong>OTP </strong>can be avoided based on the user's preference. </p> <p>It is not going to take much of a development effort but it is going to make the platform a lot more secured. In this way a user will feel more secured and won't have to be so conscious all the time about the master key. </p> <p><br></p> <p>SMTs and HF20 are going to be a boom for Steemit and there are going to be a lot of users on the platform so there is necessary need to make our platform a little bit more secured so that we can server the incoming users better and more fulfilled way. </p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Let me know what do you guys think about the same...</strong></p> <p><strong>Regards</strong></p> <p><strong>@</strong><a href="https://steemit.com/@funnyman"><strong>funnyman</strong></a></p> </html>
