I don't have a story yet. But I'm very interested in seeing SteemIt grow so I'm hoping to contribute in a positive way. Keeping the password secure seems to be a hurdle for most new users because most are used to a password recovery system. Inconvenience for the masses has to be remedied. Ease of use is critical for mass appeal. Hope someone is working on this.

The problem with a password recovery system, is that your password is really your private key. The only solution would be for SteemIt to store your private key, as it's currently only stored on your local computer. That way, even if SteemIt gets hacked, your Steem account won't be hacked.
