Redeeming rewards can be a very nice experience. That feeling of finally claiming something from your efforts. I love redeeming my rewards atleast am comfortable seeing my steem seated in my wallet.
Kinda i used to think my rewards could be taken back if i delayed to redeem them into my wallets.
We all know that ain't the case.
Problem is steemit is still in a beta version.
I appreciate the efforts to eliminate all the small glitches and here do we have another small bug that can be so dangerous if you get careless with your private keys.

Have you noticed in sometimes that you seem to be logged out especially when you are claiming your rewards?
It happens to me.
When this happens, most times you are tempted to log in using your password.
Now this may not be a problem if you have a password manager like Lastpass
Problem is, if you are constantly claiming your rewards and coping and pasting your owner's private key about so many times a day, you most likely to mess up with your password.
We have heard so many posts where by people mess up with their passwords.
It doesn't matter if you are a newbie or not.
Coping your password into your clipboard about a few times a everyday is dangerous
you will post it somewhere and someone is going to send your funds.

Actually @sami100 does it.
I think it's his code that runs around looking for such mistakes.

But what can you do to redeem your rewards?

Enter steemauto
Actually there are so many ways of going about it.
First of all you can save yourself from redeeming your rewards manually.
Sign in into steem auto and automate it. You will never have to worry about that bug anymore.

You can cut the pressure of having to click the redeem button, yes I know how it feels.
But no one is gonna take your money.

Until then, avoid activities that constantly need the use of your active key.

Thanks for passing by.
As always
