After clicking on it I was taken to <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/social-condenser-is-live">a post</a> by @steemitblog noting login changes. I take it as good news if a platform is taking steps to increase security and yet makes sure that users aren't pained to go through the process. </p> <p><br></p> <p>It took me less than five minutes to get around what key I needed....to get in. The reason I visited steemit.com today was to post a timestamp commentary. Now that was sidelined when an idea for this post popped up (not to worry though...that planned timestamp commentary should be showing up right after this one!) because I was surprised that I couldn't edit my profile as before (I felt that my mini-bio needed a tweak).</p> <p><br></p> <p>I actually had the assumption that I could just login based on what I needed to do. According to the permissions page on 'wallet', I needed my Active Key to make profile changes. Previously, I tried my Posting Key, and that brought me in the platform...with no issues. So I did not expect to get <a href="https://imgur.com/a/35vCYSK">this message</a>:</p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/xRO0k7v.jpg"/></p> <p>(Image: Screenshot from steemit.com)</p> <p>So what happened? The <a href="https://steemit.com/welcome">Steemit welcome page</a> still notes that you can change your profile via the settings page. After logging on using my Posting Key, it doesn't show profile editing information <a href="https://steemit.com/steempeak/@leighlim/re-steempeak-edit-your-profile-finally-20190407t041816917z">as expected</a>. </p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>I look forward to hearing your comments on how you have managed to change your profile (or even what you think of <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/social-condenser-is-live">the new login process</a>. <a href="http://leighlim.com/contact/">Feedback is welcome here</a>. <br> <br> <br> <br> For upvoting, <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@steevc/6xjnto-state-of-the-steemit">I had heard from Steve Clark</a>, that it is better to upvote posts that are less than 7 days old.
