In my online activities, I created myself a FOUR levels of second-factor authentication (like 2FA, 3FA, 4FA)
1-what I know ( ID, passw)
2-what I have (phone/sms, code-generator, YUBIKEY)
3-what I look (eye iris, fingerprint, ear shape, heart micro- currents/NYMI)
4-where I am , located ( IP adr, MAC adr, country , GPS geo-coordinates)
If you apply all 4 in the same aplication - the security is very high. Much more then (probably) would be required by a regular person and his treasures
P.S.
Ever heard of NYMI ?

Great video and a great subject matter. Even though there many videos about this subject you can never have too many. This is an evergreen subject that will always need to be reinforced.
It took me about a week before I was able to understand about passwords.
I will resteem.

It really is one of those evergreen subjects to reinforce. I'm sure some people will have to learn the hard way like Andreas Antonopoulos' friend that lost close to a million bucks worth of BitCoin because he didn't protect his keys.

He was talking about it during the Joe Rogan interview. It had to do something with a now defunct exchange he was using. Andreas said he had no idea his friend had put that much in until it was too late.

It is a hassle to use different keys. Use your master password but pay for a good password manager. This should be the only digital storage of the password. I also suggest writing the master key down and storing in a fireproof safe somewhere.
I use Dashlane and gladly pay for it.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Never heard of Dashlane. Just checked this one.
Still confused - why to pay x3.5 more, if LASTPASS does just about everything? And most important ( to me) it supports YUBIKEY
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I heavily considered LastPass but after trying Dashlane, I didn't want to switch. I like dashlane for their auto login / form filler and the password changer, which automatically changes all or a selected set of passwords with one click. It literally logs into the sites for you, updates the passwords and saves the new password in Dashlane.

Automatic update/change of the pass in all sites? hmmm... First moment is sounded cool to me.
However, few minutes later i thought - not sure if I would go for it. Looks a bit scary to me.
What if it mess up - and my access to the sites are then lost...gone forever?
Scary !

But I do! 😁 I get paid in STEEM, I pay people in STEEM, I buy things with STEEM and manage several Steemit accounts. I think I use the wallet more than the blog. We need to build the STEEM economy!

Then I am exception too. I use steemit wallet every single day. Posting and active keys are used here almost equally often.
The MASTER key however - shall be used only in the extreme, emergency cases. No doubt about that.
BTW, nice post, Alla. Re-steemed

That is some very valid advice!!! Everyone should save their master password, and even coins saved offline. That is the best way to secure everything and be safe.

Very great explanation of all of the different passwords we have here on Steemit! It actually took me a few dozen readings of the FAQ page until I finally started to understand the difference between each password. But you have done a marvelous job of very clearly explaining each one in a few minutes - great job Professor Alla!
I initially started out using my master password for literally everything on the platform but as soon as I realized that it was irreplaceable - once you lose it, your account is gone - I immediately wrote it down a few places and stored it all away in a safe place. A place so secure that aliens might be the only ones to uncover it centuries later as they are studying the idiosyncrasies of the human race ;)
You are on an absolute roll today - already four videos today and you haven't broken a sweat! Now that is some serious drive and determination - keep Steeming on Alla!

I was thinking what if there is google authentication app option where you key in a random code to be able to log in... That's also very safe option...
For me I changed my password so in case of any misfortune I can confirm ownership using also the old password...
For the posting key...how can one get it?

Last Pass is a great tool. Alongside two factor authentication (like Google Authenticator or Authy) is is one of the most secure password management solutions out there.
Note: This is a personal recommendation. This is not an endorsement by Steemit and Steemit is not responsible for losses that may come from you mishandling your keys and/or password by using Last Pass.

Save the private keys somewhere. Maybe print them out to have a backup in case you lose them.
Generally you should use the posting key when logging in. If someone manages to steal your posting key, there's not as much damage they can do with it. The others should be kept and only used when needed. Here's a post with an analogy for how they work:

Awesome! Thanks Alla for this information 💚. I wasn't even aware of these steemit password and how to use them. Until today, I was only using my master password 🙈
I usually keep an extra copy of my private keys on a cloud service in a password protected Excel file inside of a second password protected ZIP file (2 level security 🔐🔐). If my laptop and the paper are gone for any reason, I would be still able to access my private keys from anywhere. I don't know if this is the most secure way, but it has worked for me 👍
