Passwords are a Problem!

in steemit •  9 years ago 

Why would any site allow any connection to guess passwords at 1000 times a second forever is my question. If that is not allowed do we still need passwords more than 8 characters?

It's not a choice when a password database gets leaked online. In the case of Steemit there is no private database, everything is public in the Steem Blockchain, meaning that passwords must be mathematically secure from the start.

Thx, learn something everyday! Just hope we don't need to change password ever! I can't even ensure I can write it down correctly on apaper let alone typing it in
