Most of us already know the name SteemConnect because almost all applications that are connected to Steem Blockchain use the Steemconnect application for login activities. Steemconnect is an application built on the Blockchian Steem to handle password security issues when logging in. And now Steemconnect has also been used as an application that is recommended for use as a media login to applications that run on the Blockchain system.
I do not imagine how difficult it is to guarantee privacy and security of passwords if there is no Steemconnect. Maybe there will be a lot of accusations accusing if using application A is not safe with the reason blah blah blah. Things like this will certainly be a big obstacle to the development of Steem because Steem always needs other applications connected to it to make it easier for users.
There will be many accusations and accusations directed at developers when Steem does not have a standard login application that can guarantee security for users. And maybe we will all never dare to use other Steem Blockchain application applications such as utopian.io, busy.org, d.tube, dlive and other applications, because we are only sure that Steemit applications can guarantee password security.
With Steemconnect, application developers are no longer confused with authentication processes that must guarantee the security of user passwords. The developers simply connect Steemconnect to the application they developed.
Maybe some people are still curious about how Steemconnect works so that it can provide security to users. I can briefly explain that when a user fills in a username and password through the Steemconnect page, the password or key that is used first will be encrypted using the browser-side csrf token (csrf token is a random string that is very difficult to guess, making the perpetrator of the crime unable to act hacking or theft of passwords).
After encryption using the CSRF token, a login request is sent to the server and the decryption process is performed. Next after the server recognizes the request, it will again encrypt and make cookies stored in the browser.
Based on Steemconnect's work method, it can be concluded that Steemconnect is a very safe application for users Steem Blockchain. I personally was very alarmed when I had to login to the Steem application if the application did not use Steemconnect.
Currently Steemconnect is in version 2.0 or better known as SteemconnectV2. Ten months ago the development team from Steemconnect announced the release of the latest features.
The newest Steemconnect feature that I mean is that users can log in using multiple accounts without having to log out from their previous account. Next, I will show an example when I login to the Steemconnect application with the address: https://steemconnect.com/login
Furthermore, after successfully logging in with one account, I will log in with another account via the account add menu.
When logging in to the second account, then at that time you can move (switch) from the second account to the first account.
Whereas for example for use in the application, I have logged into the Utopian.io application using two different accounts. On another occasion, I re-access utopian.io so when I login, a display will appear as below. Steemconnect automatically gives a choice of which accounts to take to enter the utopian.io application.
If the user wants to cancel the authorization of an application that uses steemconnect, the user can use the address below to revoke:
https://steemconnect.com/dashboard
After being on the Steemconnect dashboard, then to make a cancellation please click the "Authorized App". Then select the application whose authorization will be canceled by clicking the revoke button. After entering your username and active key, the account authorization has been canceled in the intended application.
To avoid the phishing trap, each user before logging in must ensure that they are in a valid Steemconnect address. Modification of the remote address is very possible for phishing criminals to trick users.
This is the correct and valid address: https://steemconnect.com
The presence of Steemconnect as the official application for login activities in the Steemcoonect support application has made users and developers of applications more comfortable without having to worry about password security. This will make the Blockchain Steem grow.
I think after using it for a while now. This Steemconnect application is very interesting to use. I think Steemconnect is the best application that is very convenient and easy to use because it can handle password security issues when logging in. In addition, with Steemconnect, application developers are no longer confused with authentication processes that must guarantee the security of user passwords. This is very interesting for you to try. I hope you can learn it and try to use this Steemconnect application because it is very useful for those of you who are in the world crypto currency.
My thanks to
